a) It may work for this particular version of epiphany, mozilla, and
firefox. That doesn't mean it will work for the next version of mozilla
and/or firefox. The GRE is AFAIK still not API-stable, and the next ver-
sion of mozilla may very well use a different API. Do you want to main-
tain the dependencies for epiphany manually?
b) What about bug-reports? Do you want to handle those?
Don't get me wrong, I too would like to see the situation different.
But the problem is, really, that upstream needs to release the GRE as a
separate package.
