</I>
thinking about what i said in previous email...
i myself maintain a package which contains a firefox addon. maybe maintainers
of dependant packages could be notified if the requirement is pushed to
updates_testing? so they can test if this is working or not?
if anyone maintains a list:
beid-middleware
is the name of the package, and i haven't yet tested if it does work or not.
