Binary package hint: seed

1. Availability - already packaged & builds in Ubuntu universe & Debian stable

2. Rationale - Seed is a library, bringing the WebKit JS engine to Gnome. It is a dependency of epiphany-browser and libpeas (itself a dependency of eog, gedit, & totem), thus blocking the Gnome 3 transition.

3. Security - Part of GNOME. There are no known security bugs:

A search for seed reveals several bugs, but none appear to apply to this package

Gnome has one old critical bug for seed:

5. UI - This library is translatable using intltool

6. Dependencies: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/seed/view/head:/debian/control
All dependencies are already in main

7. Standards compliant 3.8.4
