Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox 2 won't be officially supported in hardy anymore. However, there are several use-cases where it still makes sense to have the old firefox available (like some extensions don't exist anymore). Thus, I want to serve this need and provide firefox-2 binaries in universe.
I don't think this is really a feature that needs approval, as the same package version (2.0.0.12) previously was shipped in main. Anyway, an ack from motu-release would make me feel better as there will be binary NEW packages.

If you want, ACK from me, but imho that's not really exception worthy... (I assume you deal with adjusting rdepends correctly, right?)
