Firefox is prerelease anyway isn't it? If we release sarge with a flakey
firefox, I'd be inclined to say it's prerelease, deal with it or use
mozilla.
That's my humble opinion anyway...
So go forth and package it, throw it in unstable, so long as it doesn't
break other stuff, which I can't see it doing.
