To add some more insight, here is a list of the reverse build
dependencies in main for xulrunner-dev:

chmsee
eclipse
firegpg
galeon
gecko-mediaplayer
gjs
gluezilla
gnome-chemistry-utils
gnome-python-extras
google-gadgets
gtk-vnc
instantbird
kazehakase
libgtk2-mozembed-perl
libjdic-java
libreoffice
mongodb
moon
mozvoikko
mozzemberek
openjdk-6
openvrml
packagekit
parole
pcmanx-gtk2
pyxpcom
rhythmbox
ruby-gnome2
sugar-hulahop
swt-gtk
totem
virt-viewer
vlc
weave
xiphos

and for libmozjs-dev:

couchdb
edbrowse
elinks
freej
gjs
gxine
libjavascript-perl
libproxy
mediatomb
openvrml


All these packages most probably need changes to at least build against
3.6 or 4.0. (though I wouldn't mind if someone would actually try ;) )
