MIR for seed, gnome-js-common (dependency of epiphany-browser)

[Steve Langasek]

Binary package hint: seed

With seahorse-plugins now switched from epiphany-webkit to epiphany-browser as a build-dependency, the 'seed' and 'gnome-js-common' source packages are being pulled into main - I guess because these are what epiphany-browser uses to implement javascript support? So either we need an MIR for these packages for karmic, or we need epiphany-browser rebuilt without seed support.

epiphany-browser itself is not included on any media, including the DVDs (it's only a build-dependency of seahorse-plugins, not a dependency), so this doesn't have to be urgently sorted for RC, but we need to resolve it one way or another for final.

Assigning to asac as the uploader of epiphany-browser to karmic. Alexander, if you don't have time to take care of this, feel free to reassign.

we are probably going to drop seahorse-plugins ephy part for this cycle.

Checking on that.

Per discussion w/ desktop team, seahorse will drop its dependency on epiphany instead. Reassigning accordingly.

Resolved with upload of seahorse-plugins 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
