Browser useragents really should be generated on first run or at install
time using $ cat /etc/issue

Altering a package just to fix a useragent is the wrong way to go about
it entirely, but it's the way everyone has been doing it for a long,
long time.

If it would please everyone, I would gladly apply $50 to the upstream
development of $ cat /etc/issue - based useragent generation.  I just
really doubt anyone would accept that solution either.  This isn't an
issue I expect the community to be particularly interested in, as it
pertains primarily to branding.  If the community bears the full burden
of maintaining the package, I don't expect them to try to fix this.
Wontfix is fantastic, as long as the bug record remains accessible for
maybe a few years.
