So the problem is that python-xpcom does not work when it has been
previously installed, and then during an upgrade the new version has
been unpacked but not configured ?

If you add a dependency from xulrunner to python-xpcom this problem
ought to go away (although if that would lead to a circular dependency
the situation is more complicated as dpkg will need to break the
cycle).
