[Pkg-sugar-devel] Patch for Browse package

[Tony Anderson]

Why does debian care about the activity version number? Is their system 
even aware of activity/activity.info?

Since Browse is an activity, how does it get involved with pristine? If 
Browse were to be corrupted or erased, it can be
downloaded and installed from ASLO. Granted, if Browse is the only 
browse in town - this could be a bit tricky. However,
the nearest internet cafe could handle downloading it to a usb stick.
