ACK, I've also thought about this issue.

Yeah. As it looks, xulrunner is available to replace all the weirdness
with linking to mozilla libs. I guess removing mozilla from etch could
be done in time, if we start to look for its current rdepends and urge
the maintainers to switch to the libs provided by xulrunner, which
provide the same functionality (and, AFAICS, didn't break the
interface).

I've CCed the xulrunner maintainer - is what I wrote right?
