As you might have noticed, the maintainer for the epiphany-game package
has a rather stubborn opinion, despite the git precedent which is very
similar in Debian. This attitude is causing all sorts of bugs in
epiphany since we have to rename it to “epiphany-browser” in many
places. 

Unfortunately, you need to keep your forces for large fights, and I
don’t think this one is worth it. If you feel like spending energy for
it, I suggest you appeal his decision to the technical committee.

Cheers,
