So, the problem, here, is that libxul changed its behaviour for what it
calls URI Fixups. It now requires a specific flag to be set in order to
do the fixup.

In Epiphany, this is dealt in embed/mozilla/mozilla-embed.cpp:352, so
rebuilding epiphany against libxul 1.8.1.x should be enough to re-enable
this feature.

OTOH, there seem to be no support for this in Galeon, nor in Kazehakase.

So, here is what I propose: I'll duplicate this bug to galeon and
kazehakase so that this can be fixed there. For epiphany, a binNMU
should be enough to close this bug. And on libxul side, I'll activate
fixup even when the flag is not set, so that the old behaviour is back.

The latter will be reverted as soon as both galeon and kazehakase are
fixed.

Cheers,

Mike
