This was my feeling as well, applying some of the trivial patches
to fix known bugs and holes was worthwhile in itself, but it seems
rather half-hearted to release a security update which essentially
says:
"This update fixes XX bugs, but YY security related bugs still
exist".

Me neither right now, although one of the hardest parts about getting
started was figuring out the build/package system - that was useful.

Everybody using Debian Stable? Although I'm not too sure of the
number of people that would be. I know that all my servers are
stable machiens, but they don't have much in the way of X11 libraries
installed upon them, let alone Mozilla.
