exactly the same benefits as any other package of firefox extension:
1. point of entry to install it would be the same as for any other
Debian package (e.g. apt-get install)
2. automagic upgrades with the rest of the system
3. Debian specifics of the software might reveal its ugly face after
extended usage, or right after making it installed system-wide
4. and 4th -- it is that 1,2 is done at the system level, so if a box is
used concurrently by multiple users, they don't have to install/upgrade it
manually per account/firefox
so imho benefits are obvious and it would be great to see it in
Debian!!!
