Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

In jaunty epiphany-webkit 2.24.3-0ubuntu1 uses the gecko backend instead of the webkit backend. Thats because in the 2.24.3 release the webkit backend got removed and epiphany just defaults to gecko.
Maybe this package should be removed until a real webkit version of epiphany gets released (2.26 or 2.28?), otherwise it just might fail for some people because it would be using gecko without depending it etc.

confirmed, upstream decide to only ship the gecko build in the current stable and work on webkit in the new version

---------------
epiphany-browser (2.25.91-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * debian/control.in:
    - updated gtk requirement
  * debian/control.in, debian/epiphany-browser.README.Debian, debian/rules:
    - don't build a webkit variant the upstream tarball doesn't allow doing now,
      this version uses gecko and the next one will use webkit (lp: #317305)
