 answer should be determined from the "screen size" (which is faked from
 the window size).  If a site asks for screen size and is given portrait
 dimensions

 What is triggering the potrait dimensions here? The actual (i.e. vertical)
 screen? If so, this is #11439 I'd say and we need to decide how to fix
 that one. If we say "vertical screens should get dimensions similarly to
 horizontal screens to blend more into this group" then "landscape-primary"
 is the best choice. If we want to make own buckets for people with
 vertical screen layout then I'd agree with you.
