OK cool, up to you. I just figured it would be easiest if you could
achieve all maemo mods by patching one file (/usr/bin/conduit). Nice
and clean.

Your approach is equally valid, and may be a useful excercise in
learning how to do this so that we can ship conduit as multiple
packages in future (i.e. conduit-plugins-google)

Cool. We also need to set the default web browser to "system". Not
sure the cleanest way to do that. Can you run gconftool --set
/apps/conduit/web_login_browser --type string system in postinst? or
conduit, or should this be patched in the code. Thoughts?
