For what it's worth, seperate RFP bug reports were filed for
kiwix-serve (kiwix-serve, actually) and kiwix-lib:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856595
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856552

So some future for Kiwix in Debian may exist after all. :)

Once those are done, maybe someone could start looking at the XUL
extension again? Or should we just give up on that?
