Bug Description

In order to make it easier to know what people are on what release and also to gather data about the oem image in use, we would like to include the user agent in the embedded webkit browser.

TEST CASE:
- regression test with a purchase is enough, nothing should change for the user

If that can go in as a SRU I would like to propose if for merging.

I've rejected the software-center SRU from the precise-proposed queue, as bug #1006570 and bug #1042279 have been waiting for test cases and regression potential for over a month now.

Once these bugs have the necessary information for an SRU, please ping me or another an SRU team member in #ubuntu-release and we can fish it out of the rejected queue.

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/5.2.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
