I'm sorry, I think this is one of those unfortunate situations where one has to
throw the hands up and say, "That's why they call it unstable."
The nautilus maintainer Takuo Kitame took matters into his own hands and built
his own 0.8, then uploaded x86 naut binaries depending on it. Maybe you could do
the same for alpha, or else convince Kitame and the moz maintainer that an
0.8(.1)-0.1 NMU would be a good thing- at least in the short term...
In the meantime, have you tried building/running Kitame's unofficial 0.8 for
alpha?
