Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox
Version: 2.0.0.13+1nobinonly-0ubuntu1

firefox-2 build-depends against newer nss (libnss3-1d), but debian/firefox-2.links creates symlink against older nss files which are left as broken symlinks inside /usr/lib/firefox. debian/firefox-2.links should be updated to reflect the transition.

I pinged asac in #ubuntu-mozillateam and he said this will be probably done as a SRU as remaining issue doesn't seem to be a blocker for the release.
