Mmmmm that'd need special care to avoid libxul-common from a new upstream
being installed with an older libxul0d
Maybe it'd also be time to solve once and for all this arch:all issue.
It's not the first time it happens, and it won't be the last. Maybe it's
time that the archive keeps the old arch:all version until all arch:any
packages are in.
Ccing to debian-devel for that matter.
