FWIW, I’ve reviewed Sean Whitton’s changes, built the mozilla-devscripts
in Jessie, and tested it there in order to rebuild some xul-ext-*
packages. I believe those changes are short, fine, and will allow us to
make an “as smooth as possible” transition from iceweasel to firefox
(and icedove to thunderbird) whenever those packages reached stable
(i.e., probably via stable-security, thus the idea to push those changes
prior to the forced transition). I’m happy to upload this package in a
timely manner if you agree with this proposal.
Packages built with this latest mozilla-devscripts can be installed with
iceweasel as well as firefox, here are a few examples of binary debdiff,
for xul-ext-noscript and xul-ext-adblock-plus, between the version
currently in stable and the no-change rebuild with this version of
mozilla-devscripts.
