epiphany: "Save as" vs. "download"

[Alex Mauer]

When trying to download a .deb file using Epiphany, it prompts:

File Type: “Software package”.
It is unsafe to open “filename.deb” as it could potentially damage your documents or invade your privacy. You can download it instead.

It then gives the options "save as..." and "download". To me, there is no difference in meaning between these options. However, "download" has no apparent effect aside from popping up a window for a split second, while "save as..." prompts for a location in which to save the file.

I just now realized that "download" saves the file to the desktop, but this is definitely not clear from the prompt. Both options are doing both "downloading" the file and "saving" the file...so the different words are not at all helpful.

In addition, I should be able to do what I want with the file; epiphany should not second-guess my judgement by making it annoying to install software.

Thank you for your bug. That's known upstream, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341666

In Epiphany 3.2 (from Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha), clicking a .deb automatically downloads it (like all other file types), so I'm going to close this bug.
