Ah, right, I forgot that detail. I'm making an upload installing an absolute symlink. Although this violates a 'should' directive of Debian Policy, Firefox ESR 45 is the version that will go into stretch, and so this package needs to be patched to work with that version. Once all versions of Firefox in testing and unstable are at least version 48, the workaround can be undone. -- Sean Whitton
