The Mozilla issues fixed in DSA-866-1 are not all listed as being fixed
in etch/sid even though DSA claims otherwise.

This applies to:
http://idssi.enyo.de/tracker/CVE-2005-2703

Also WRT CVE-2005-2395, it claims to be fixed in the mozilla-firefox
package as of version 1.4.99+1.5rc3.dfsg-2, but not yet in the "firefox"
 package which is essentially just a renaming of the mozilla-firefox
package. There is a note about "mozilla-firefox is now a transitional
package" and if that is why it was marked fixed it would better be
written "As of version BLAH mozilla-firefox is now an empty transitional
package and so does not contain the vulnerability"

Thanks,
Julien
