I agree it sohuld probably be removed and a mozilla CVS or
mozilla-snapshot package uploaded to experimental. Since the
maintainer is actively uploading packages (e.g. recently mozilla), I'd
prefer for him to say what should happen with mozilla-snapshot - but
unfortunately I've always had a hard time getting any response from
Takuo. :/ Let's CC him and hope he'll respond.
