Oh, ok. Jérémy told me on IRC, he hasan't received a reply. Well,
anyway, we're on the right way again, now. :-)

Hehe.

Yeah, I noticed the "unstable" instead of "maverick" in the last
changelog entry. :-)

Just as you did before, only officially for Debian. ;-)

I think that patch even is suitable for proposing it to upstream.

Right. Others which are in Debian but not in the install.rdf:
Songbird, Instantbird, Sunbird, ...

Looks like a more or less vanilla git-buildpackages workflow. Should
be fine.
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianMozExtTeam#Common_practices just
mentions git, not any way how to use it. And there are dozens way to
use git. :-)
And I have the feeling that on that wiki page, "branch" really means
"repository" and "repository" means "repository directory". At least
this is what the list of pkg-mozext repositories look like. (Anyone
from the pkg-mozext team can confirm that?)
Please ping me when you have 1.0 package ready for review/sponsoring
or if you have questions.
P.S.: I'm not a pkg-mozext group member, so I don't know all the
group's rules. I'm just a subscriber to the pkg-mozext-maintainers
mailing list as maintainer of the conkeror package in Debian.
Regards, Axel
