The situation is still the same with the current version in sid:

  Package: gecko-mediaplayer
  Version: 1.0.4-2
  [...]
  Depends: [...] iceweasel | firefox | iceape-browser | epiphany-browser |
   galeon | xulrunner-1.9.1 | xulrunner-1.9.2 | konqueror (>= 4:4) |
   opera (>= 9.50) | chromium-browser (>> 4.0)
  Description: Multimedia plug-in for Gecko browsers

Fully agree, reassigning.

Please note that my first reaction would have been to tag this bug as
wontfix and close it, because it is clear that there is no way to be
sure an XUL application works with *any* XULrunner version and even the
xulrunner-stub general binary is no more supported:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
iceweasel (5.0-4) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
  * debian/xulrunner-GRE_VERSION.postinst.in,
    debian/xulrunner-GRE_VERSION.prerm.in: Remove the xulrunner-stub
    alternative. The reason why it was good to have in /usr/bin doesn't exist
    anymore.

Thx, bye,
