AFAICT, Ubuntu has a firefox-dev package that only contains NPAPI
headers in /usr/include/firefox. I don't think that would be enough for
all rdeps we have in Debian. I think some are not NPAPI plugins.
Anyways, I guess most rdeps are just using the mozilla-*.pc files. I'll
at least add the mozilla-plugin.pc one in next upload (which I'll do
tomorrow morning, after I confirm only armel is broken). That should
help most.

Definitely, yes.
