Cool, then I stop my just starting "efforts" right now :)

I thought about using dh_xulrunner (doesn't work since it looks for
iceweasel plugins) or other forms of creating the dependency
dynamically (just taking the current version of xulrunner-dev etc.)
-- but this doesn't buy us binNMU-ability since the package is still
arch:all ...
So I think we're stuck with listing the versions ...

Something like a versionless xulrunner package would be nice; I'm
vaguely remembering a wishlist bug about this but can't find it now.

Cheers,
gregor
