You could use http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild to build epiphany and the dependencies that you don't have already. After doing apt-get build-dep epiphany-browser which should install the build deps for the version that you have from your distro, you can use "jhbuild buildone"s to build the dependencies that you don't have already. It's _not_ necessary to do a full jhbuild build of all of GNOME; I think it should suffice to buildone these modules: glib pango gtk+ hicolor-icon-theme libbonobo libgnome libbonoboui libgnomeui epiphany. Note: there will be a problem with "libtool" files in /usr/lib. These files are unnecessary; you can just move them away to a safe place ("mkdir ~/Abfall; sudo mv /usr/lib/*.la ~/Abfall" for example :). (Remember to do that after every upgrade with apt-get).
