deb http://www.debian.or.jp/~kitame/mozilla/ ./

unofficial, but real debian packages made by a real debian developer.
they are the same packages as potato's M18, just with 0.9.  they are
compiled for unstable-i386 so if you use potato (or arch != i386) you
must apt-get source and build the packages locally.  this is not hard
to do so long as you install everything listed in it's build-depends.
