I started working on this package some time ago (November), and tried to
make it depend on netscape. It uses netscape-remote, which is in the
netscape packages. It'd be nice if that script was moved to a
browser-common package (like Progeny did), so other packages could use
it. That way, depending on Mozilla would be pretty easy.

About the package itself, new upstream versions require a complete
repackaging. I have some work done, wouldn't mind giving it another
look, but there's the nescape-remote problem still.

I think the maintainer wanted to give the package away, is this true?
Should it be orphaned, or can you maintain it till someone interested in
it appears?
