Hysterical reasons.

Bug #370436 is tracking the progress I've added usertags after filing my bunch of bugs, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=xulrunner-transition;users=debian-release@lists.debian.org blam seems to be largely unmaintained and is upstream-dead, so we may want to remove it too. (O: bug is #360583) libgecko-cil will be removed from sarge, as it is deprecated (got that From the maintainer). It's only rdep in etch is blam, which either needs to be ported or to go. The rest of the packages needs some more poking of maintainers or NMUs, feel free to do that. I'll look into this once I have more free time at my hands, which should be at the beginning of next week. The other blocker for the removal of mozilla from etch is that we don't have seamonkey in the archive. For those wanting to use a monolithic Web suite, we should provide either mozilla and seamonkey... Packaging seems to be stuck, though.

Hmmm, I need to discuss this with other release team members. It's pretty weird. Marc -- BOFH #95: Pentium FDIV bug
