OK, so lets discuss some basics like preferred package layout
etc. Please comment and object:

 + package layout: upstream orig.tar.gz (no embedded tarball) ... but
 separate patches included (dpatch or something)

 + packages needed:
   + all current mozilla application equivalents + the -dev, but
   without libxxx packages.
   + a dbg package ... I want to see a dbg for all mozilla packages we
   have in etch. I will reupload a thunderbird build which I cancelled
   previously because I wanted security fixes to go into etch
   first.

 + maintenance place:
   + svn used by jaldhar?
   + complete checkin ... deflated

 + initial work-load:
   + mike reviews his patches clears up which ones are needed for
   archs, build system etc.
   + I move package to layout (orig.tar.gz + patches) as mentioned
   above (or whatever we decide to use)
   + anyone who has time does the work to tweak configure options and
   debhelper files to produce the packages mentioned above. We can
   either split this up in front or just first comes first serves?

Anything important I missed?
