that's related to apt-listchanges. If we change the source name now
apt-listchanges can't do his job for getting automatic information to
the system administrators as apt-listchanges uses also the source
package name to display NEWS entries.
The name change for the source package is planned of course, but first
we would need to get the change of the binary packages into testing (and
stable-security and also wheezy-lts).

This was natural a needed thing to not break things longer than needed,
and, Mozilla has released a new version. So the upload was not simply a
re-upload with some fixes. We also got arm64 fixed by this.
BTW: The last emails from Julien in this bug report wasn't reaching me,
so it is not intended to don't answering question from the RT, I simply
hasn't seen any activity here.
If no new big issues will arise we hopefully can write a unblock request
in about a few days ...
Regards
Carsten
