Hi, i'm trying to package the enigmail and enigmime mozilla plugins and 
I have seen that almost every mozilla related package is based on a 
precompiled xpi.
Normally the debian package unzip the xpi and install evrything

Usually these xpis are based in a c or c++ sources that are compiled 
using a mozilla build tree.

There is a package (mozilla-dev) that provides several utilities to 
compile this plugins without a mozilla build tree.

I think the right way to generate the debian packages is using the 
sources not the xpi ¿is the right way or i'm wrong and the unzip of xpis 
is a good solution?

Best regards
