According to upstream, 3.32.0 is not suitable and we should be using
3.32.1.2. That version has various post-release fixes, and also restores
the bundled copy of libdazzle 3.32.x instead of using the system libdazzle
3.30.x: upstream say 3.32.x has important fixes for epiphany-browser.

I've prepared a draft package at
<https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/epiphany-browser/merge_requests/1>,
but someone who knows the package better should probably take over at
this point, so I'm marking the unblock request as moreinfo.
