Ok.

thank you all for the comments.
I have replaced the .dsc by one that also contains the .diff md5

Andreas, what I meant is that this way, you can download a standard
mozilla source package and only get the .diff file from me. When you
do that, you only need a 32mb tar.bz2 package from them, and only the
.diff from me.
The orig.tar.gz is indeed bigger, but then again, if you downlaod
that, you already have the .diff applied to the source.
