Being desperate of iceweasel being slow and epiphany-webkit not
supporting tabs (among other things) I ended up patching epiphany-gecko
to get it working, note: I know almost nothing about debian packaging
the most I've done is python packages of my own stuff...

So:
	* I learned how to create an sbuild chroot
	* apt-get source epiphany-gecko (the only step I knew)
	* renamed all instances of g_uri_get_scheme to g_uri_parse_scheme
	* Figured out I was looking for dpkg-source to get new .tgz and .dsc
	* Asked sbuild to package it (it got very angry, my chroot is far from
perfect) 
	* Found out g_file_contains_file has to be renamed to g_file_has_prefix
also.
	* Rerun sbuild
	* Got a shiny working epiphany! 
	* YUHU!

I'm just writting this to let the world know what Really Loving Your
Favourite Browser means. (And maybe opt-in for DeFuBu!)

And, I'm almost sure there was an easier way to get it working without
downgrading, but hey, I learnt lots of stuff!

Cheers,
Marc

(PS: when runing sbuild as non-root how to make it not ask root password
for apt?)
