I believe the user agent with my pending fix will be

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Version/11.0 Safari/605.1.15

Comments
--------
Websites may still misidentify it as Safari.

I am using a patch from Fedora. They do the same thing we do except with
"Fedora" instead of "Ubuntu".

This is also being backported to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 17.10 when we do
future webkit2gtk security and feature updates.
