I'm not completely sure about the following change:

  * debian/patches/fix_launcher_script_calling_xul:
    - Removed, not needed anymore.

The patch is from bug 295490. I'll ask Fabien if it's still neccessary with the new code or not. I didn't have any problems without the patch, but I didn't have them either without it when some people were unable to start liferea, so let's make sure :)

From IRC:

21:05 < fta> pochu, it is needed, but it can be done differently
21:07 < pochu> fta: how?
21:07 < fta> by telling liferea to load only xul 1.9.0.* and not 1.9*
21:07 < fta> hold on
21:09 < fta> pochu, like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/87290/
21:11 < fta> pochu, it should even be sent upstream

22:14 < pochu> fta: your patch was perfectly
22:14 < pochu> without it I get the abort if I install xulrunner-1.9.1, with it liferea runs
22:14 < pochu> fta: thanks :-)
