Gecko) are not packaged separately as yet. Galeon is hence anything but minimalist, it just hides the bloat in installed code for XUL support that it isn't using. The other parts of mozilla not required are relatively small - XUL presentations and nominal backends to implement these functions. Anyhow, mozilla-browser *is* a Debian package, unless it was just yanked from the pools. -- Mark L.
