What exactly does this prove other than mozilla-firefox is installed
and firefox is not here and that firefox has a long version string with
dsfg appended?

$ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.4.99+1.5rc3.dfsg-2
  Version table:
     1.4.99+1.5rc3.dfsg-2 0
        500 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
$ apt-cache policy mozilla-firefox
mozilla-firefox:
  Installed: 1.0.7-1
  Candidate: 1.0.7-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.7-1 0
        500 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
