I know that it is simple to run FF 2.0 on a Dapper system. But it's a community thing. I'm member of the admin team of the german ubuntuusers.de forums and a couple of days ago, when FF 2.0 was released, every second topic was about "why doesn't ubuntu update my firefox, and how can I install it".

And people got really angry about the fact, that FF 2.0 won't get shipped via the standard update repositories. People think that they always get the latest and greatest versions via the repositories. I know they are wrong. Since the don't understand the way things are. But it's hard to explain over and over again, why FF 2.0 is not and will never be inside the Dapper repos. Especially since Dapper will be supported over a long period of time.

And since FF 1.5 is inside the breezy-backports i thought that it must be possible to ship FF 2.0 within the dapper-backports. This would solve a lot of community related problems.
