[ Reason ]
I made a small patch to add a "copy URL" button (forwarded upstream)
[ Impact ]
It's a quality of life improvement, I often want to copy the URL of
the article I just read to send it to someone else. Without it I must
open the browser, then copy the url from the browser, then I can share it.
Consider that it's intended for mobile devices, so it's rather annoying to
do all of that because windows switching and selections and copying all happen with various gestures.
[ Tests ]
I tried it manually on desktop and on tablet. Seems to work fine.
[ Risks ]
The patch is straightforward, I don't see what ill could happen from this.
[ Checklist ]
[O] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[O] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[O] attach debdiff against the package in testing
