All these were done in 3.5.16-2, but there are a few more I'd like to
address:
- Apply the dpkg-trigger trick in postinst so that python-xpcom can
register properly (part of #606791)
- Use a different kind of timeout in the testsuite, because, while the
timeout introduced in 3.5.16-2 worked, it apparently doesn't work well
enough.
- Fix iceweasel's README.Debian.
Please advise what timing would be best for an upload, considering
sqlite3 (e.g. if the solution for it will require binNMUs, it would be
better to upload after sqlite3)
Mike
