no no... just when mozilla is installed into sid. It's not that big a
deal since this is _sid_ after all, but when new upstream versions of
mozilla get uploaded to sid, nobody with galeon or skipstone (or light,
when i upload it) will be able to update mozilla until their
installation of galeon, skipstone, or light is updated... they're get
something like "package galeon depends on mozilla << 0.9.2, but
2:0.9.3-1 is to be installed"

the epoch is required because if it isn't included, people which for
some reason have mozilla M18, M17, or whatever installed will be able to
install galeon without complaints and of course galeon will then not run
:)
iirc, the -4 is required because some previous build didn't have
--with-mozilla-five-home="/usr/lib/mozilla-0.9.1 or something like that
in ./configure, so versions of galeon built against previous mozilla had
to be started with the upstream galeon wrapper script (which sets
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to the correct place) whereas versions built against
the new revisions had to be started with the wrapper script i wrote
(which just unsets MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME because if it's set to something
incorrect it'll crash, and if it's not set then mozilla will
automagically set it to the right thing)
this might not be it though :) i'll check the changelog sometime

see bug # 107146
perhaps there is a fix that can be done to upstream galeon or the
mozilla package, or perhaps even has already been done post-0.9.1? i
haven't investigated it, i suppose i will try to get around to
investigating it before releasing, but if i can't track down what the
problem is i suppose i should go ahead and add the dependancy :-/
