Bug#364368: Build-Dep on mozilla (library), please transition to xulrunner

[Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt]

Package: eclipse
Severity: wishlist

Heya,

It looks like your package still depends on a mozilla library in
testing. As upstream declared mozilla to be dead and moved all
functionality that is needed to embed gecko and friends to a new
software suite (xulrunner), you should update your package to work with
those. At the moment, it looks like we don't want to release etch with
mozilla [1]. 

This means that your package needs to update it's
build-dependencies to the new packages provided by xulrunner. The
interface shouldn't have changed, so looking at this mapping, changing
the packaging a bit and doing a test-build should be enough:

libnspr-dev -> libnspr4-dev
libnspr4    -> libnspr4-0d
libnss-dev  -> libnss3-dev
libnss3     -> libnss3-0d  
mozilla-dev -> libxul-dev (probably, you may need to change include pathes)

Maybe you've been lucky and upstream already transitioned to use the
xulrunner environment.

Footnotes: 
[1]  Mozilla security maintenance isn't easy anyway, but releasing it
     and with that promising security support *after* it was declared
     dead by upstream would be insane. So we don't want to do that.
