Bug#474266: iceweasel: use system expat?

[Rene Engelhard <rene@debian.org>]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.13-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

While test building iceweasel against the soon-to-be-released hunspell 1.2.2
I noticed that iceweasel ships an own expat in parser/xml/expat/lib.

Looking there, it seems 1.95.7 but I have no idea whether/how it is patched.
Debian has 1.95.8.

Can iceweasel be patched to build/link against the "normal" expat so
that you don't need to touch iceweasel when a libexpat problem comes up?

Regards,

Rene
