It is correct. 

Version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.2-2 in unstable fixes it. But it also has a few
other fixes not mentioned in the 1.0.4-2sarge6 package and also less
because the 1.0.4-2sarge6 contains security fixes that have been fixed
of the whole 1.5 series. See the 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.2-1 version of the
changelog for a detailed list of CVE's fixed.

The 1.0.8 release also marks the end of life for the security support
of the 1.0 series :( It might be helpful if some one on the security
team could make contact with the mozilla developers and try it get on
their closed security mailing lists so at least have a chance at
fixing 1.0 security issues in the future.
