Bug#536418: epiphany-browser: Please change GREVersionRange to avoid epiphany breakage with xulrunner-1.9.1

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.26.1-1
Severity: important

Xulrunner 1.9.1 is not fully ABI compatible with xulrunner 1.9, but epiphany has
a GRE version range that indicates the contrary, so when both xulrunner versions
are installed, the 1.9.1 one can be picked by the XPCOM glue.

The current range is defined in embed/mozilla/mozilla-embed-single.cpp with the
following:
        static const GREVersionRange greVersion = {
          "1.9a", PR_TRUE,
          "2", PR_TRUE
        };

I think "1.9" instead of "2" would allow 1.9.0.x to work, while avoiding 1.9.1 to
be picked.

Cheers,

Mike
