eh, but i thought you just said 1.0.x is screwed up with gconf2?
Why not have 1.0.x conflict with gconf2?

Marco (galeon's lead upstream sort of guy) sayes that 1.1.x would create
many more bugs than 1.0.x, which would be quite a feat. Galeon 1.0.x
runs fine for me, and yet there are quite a few bugs. Probably if we
uploaded 1.1.3, we would find that many people with different useage
patterns than us would experience plenty of bugs. I say we stick with
1.0.x until 1.2 comes out.

Mozilla 0.9.7 is in testing. Can we target an upload to testing only
which depends on 0.9.7?
