Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

In epiphany 2.30.2 in lucid, the user agent string is the following:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/531.2+ (KHTML, like
Gecko) Safari/531.2+ Debian/squeeze/sid () Epiphany/2.30.2

To be compared with the user agent string exposed by firefox:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423
Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3

This makes detecting the version of Ubuntu at best difficult.
The user agent string can be inspected easily at e.g. 
http://useragentstring.com/.
