So what? We need to provide updates for these programs as well. It is
just the matter of a rebuild. That makes, say, 3 security updates
(mozilla, epiphany and galeon) at once. Just compare that to the number
of DSAs a kernel update requires.
Another problem is the update of these stupid mozilla-locale-* packages,
but:
* it is far better to have updated packages without l10n than the
opposite;
* it doesn't affect epiphany and galeon;
* users can grab it from unstable, as there are no library
dependencies in them;
* they can still be provided in stable later.

I don't remember of a new mozilla version requiring galeon or epiphany
to be updated to a new upstream in unstable for quite some time. Why
would it happen in stable more than in unstable?
