Bug Description
Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
The Wine project is trying to streamline their download page by detecting the distribution of visitors. However, Epiphany doesn't mention Ubuntu in the user agent string, so Epiphany users will get the non-streamlined download page.
Epiphany is using the useragent string
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/20080528 Epiphany/2.22 Firefox/3.0
but firefox puts the distro in between the Gecko and the browser name
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6"
It would be nice if Epiphany did the same.
