Bug#557350: epiphany-browser: improper conflict with swfdec-mozilla

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.29.1-2

With the latest update, flash no longer works in iceweasel.  After some
research, the reason was that epiphany-browser conflicts with it (and it
is a requirement of the gnome meta-package).  According to the
changelog, this is because of a bug in swfdec-mozilla.

Why not file this bug and fix it/let it be fixed?  A conflicts seems
like a very bad way to handle this issue, especially for a package which
cannot be uninstalled by gnome users.

Thanks,
Bas
