I found the following in various .js files in my Debian install.

./defaults/pref/vendor.js:1:pref("general.useragent.vendor", "Debian");
./defaults/pref/vendor.js:2:pref("general.useragent.vendorSub", "1.7.1-4");
./greprefs/security-prefs.js:1:pref("general.useragent.security", "U");
./greprefs/all.js:52:pref("general.useragent.locale", "chrome://navigator/locale/navigator.properties");
./greprefs/all.js:53:pref("general.useragent.contentlocale", "chrome://navigator-region/locale/region.properties");

The UA string ends up being "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040726 Debian/1.7.1-4"

Thats a place to start looking, anyway.

Mark.
