Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
1. It is a release goal for the Ubuntu Desktop team to ship GNOME 44 as completely as possible in Ubuntu 23.04
2. We were late to start working on packaging epiphany in part because webkitgtk was going through bigger development changes this cycle. We will do better in the future. We recognized that we would need to package gcr4 in order to package epiphany 44. We had avoided this for GNOME 43, but now there is a need for both versions of gcr to be in Ubuntu (roughly, the old version is for gtk3 apps and the new version is for gtk4). NEW source package processing takes some time.
3. Epiphany 44 is a major update. It includes the switch from GTK3 to GTK4 which has been worked on upstream for several cycles.
4. Epiphany is not included by default in any official Ubuntu flavor. Nothing significant depends on epiphany.
5. Ideally, we package the latest version of web browsers like Epiphany.
Changelog entries since current lunar version 43.1-1:
epiphany-browser (44~rc-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* New upstream release (LP: #2011851)
* Build with GTK4 & libadwaita
* Build with webkitgtk 6.0
* Build-Depend on libgstreamer1.0-dev
* Build with gcr4
* debian/rules: Disable granite integration
since granite-7 7.2 isn't in Unstable yet
* Add patch to disable the webview test since it doesn't work
in our build environment
* Cherry-pick patches to fix build with latest webkitgtk

Testing done
------------
I did a build, install, and run test on amd64.
I successfully completed the manual test from
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/browsers
No search engine referral is set but that is not a regression.
