This is a known problem, and we're hashing out solutions in Debian.

So, is this fixed on Debian but not on Ubuntu?
I can't build Firefox on Ubuntu because of this bug.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Closing because the linked Debian bug was closed ages ago, and that fix flowed through to Ubuntu.
