Binary package hint: xulrunner-1.9.1

This package should build python-xpcom, like it does in Debian. Python-xpcom is not widely used in Ubuntu, but it is required for the emerging pyjamas-desktop application that is already in Debian testing. Building it yourself requires 3GB of disk space and takes a lot of time, while only a tiny piece of the result (<500kb) is needed.

If python-xpcom still causes epiphany-browser to crash, a Conflict: epiphany-browser just on the python-xpcom package as is done in Debian seems an acceptable work around to me. This even allows people just to extract the python library from the package and stash it elsewhere (it is relocatable).
