Heya, Let's see what I've done.

As there are other RC bugs on the package (which should also be fixed by newer upstream versions), I've asked the maintainer, Stephen Frost, what's up with the package and if he's still willing and able to maintain it on his own. This triggered some more activity from him, including communication with upstream to remove a non-free file (RFC) from the upstream tarball. Stephen plans to package the new release when it comes out, which should fix all four outstanding RC bugs. I guess this will happen in the next few weeks, I'll follow up on this. > 356394 [ ] mc-foo: exception on startup This was already fixed as it turns out, but I asked the maintainer for a comment. He said that the package needs some work anyway, but that he has no time/interest in the moment, so it's OK to remove the package From etch for now. > 353134 [ ] libtest-builder-tester-perl: FTBFS with perl 5.8.8 This bug is actually not solved, but the package was removed from testing and unstable already :) The module Test::Builder::Tester is now included in libtest-simple-perl (and recent versions of perl-modules), so it was enough to patch the two r-deps to depend on libtest-simple-perl (fixing #358745 and #356829 on the way) before removing the obsolete, rc-buggy libtest-builder-tester-perl package. I didn't have much free time to do other stuff, but I filed some bugs to track the xulrunner-transition and poked some of the maintainers needing to do something via IRC. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=xulrunner-transition;users=debian-release@lists.debian.org for more infos on the bugs. I hope that these bugs, a bit of social engineering and upstream work should make it possible to remove the mozilla package from etch before we release (and replace it by seamonkey instead for those who want to use a full mozilla suite). This should also give xulrunner a good test environment, which will reduce the number of problems that we need to expect when Firefox will start to use it as basis. The nice thing of xulrunner is that it finally replaces the mess that the integration of the gecko engine was. The downside is that next year, firefox, thunderbird, galeon, ... will all depend on xulrunner, which still implements the weird mozilla library versioning scheme [1].
