Mike, i think your implication here is that these packages won't fare
well with xulrunner-dev or libmozjs-dev > 1.9.1; is that right?  Has
anyone tried rebuilding them against the experimental dev packages?

Is there reason to believe that they won't build properly with them?

This one at least has been orphaned (by me) and can be removed from the
archive if it's holding up iceweasel 4.  Shall i request this?
