Hi,
It seems that the project of Ubuntu is fairly ambitious, so since
Zotero is of a particular interest for our communauty, I would advise to
not wait before the automatic packaging is available in Ubuntu; it can
take time... This said, it is of course a good idea to consult the
Ubuntu developpers and the Debian Iceweasel maintainers if necessary.
To say things frankly, I fear that cooperation will be difficult on this
project as the very idea of having Debian packages downstream of Ubuntu
will probably provoke at least a very heated debate. But maybe I am
pessimistic... As least for me it would be no problem.
Another good reason for having an independant pakage is that if I
understand correctly, Zotero also has a component that interacts with
OpenOffice, so I do not know if its packaging can easily be part of an
automated scheme that will give its best for extensions that only depend
on Mozilla and not other applications.
By the way, would you like to develop the package within our Subversion
repository? If yes, you can ask to join our Gforge project on the
following address:

Have a nice day,
