Just in case that wasn't clear, the glandium mentioned above is me, and that was with my iceweasel maintainer on, which is the source package that was generating xulrunner-1.9.1. Unstable doesn't have xulrunner-1.9.1 anymore, or at least, it's not generated from the source currently in unstable. It's still in unstable but won't for long. Anyways, making plugin packages *depend* on xulrunner, any version, is wrong, because: - webkit browsers don't use xulrunner - all gecko browsers don't use xulrunner (only iceweasel does) FWIW, Ubuntu's package doesn't depend on xulrunner-1.9.1, but instead depends on firefox | chromium-browser | epiphany-browser | midori. Which is just as useless, as this requires people using other browsers (for example, uzbl or conkeror) to install one of these browsers while they don't need it.
