The Etch release notes had a warning about Mozilla's support policy and it was right
(support for Mozilla 2.x ends in december). We need the same for the Lenny release
notes and we can reuse the text from Etch:

The Mozilla programs firefox and thunderbird (rebranded in Debian to iceweasel and icedove, respectively), are important tools for many users. Unfortunately the upstream security policy is to urge users to update to new upstream versions, which conflicts with Debian's policy of not shipping large functional changes in security updates. We cannot predict it today, but during the lifetime of etch the Debian Security Team may come to a point where supporting Mozilla products is no longer feasible and announce the end of security support for Mozilla products. You should take this into account when deploying Mozilla and consider alternatives available in Debian if the absence of security support would pose a problem for you. 

Cheers,
        Moritz

Closing Lenny release-notes pending bugs, since the relevant patches have been
