Ubufox shows up in Software Center under Firefox add-ons

[Sense Egbert Hofstede]

Binary package hint: ubufox

TEST CASE:
While the metadata is app-install-data is fixed now firefox
itself recommends "ubufox" and this is the reason that it shows up in the addons list

Testing that the removal of the no longer included addons works:
1. open software-center in natty
2. search for "flashblock" and navigate to "flashblock extension for firefox"
3. verify that it can not be found/installed
4. install app-install-data from natty-propsoed
5. verify that flashblock is no longer there

The 'ubufox' packages shows up under Firefox add-ons in Software Center, even though it is a transitional package for xul-ext-ubufox, which also shows up in the add-ons list.

Ubufox has no use and a user might be confused when nothing happens after he or she installes it. What makes it even more prone to user confusion is that 'ubufox' has a little Ubuntu icon, whereas 'xul-ext-ubufox', the actual extension, has the default icon.

Hmmm, I don't see what I could do in ubufox to fix this. It seems that the bug belongs somewhere else.

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

It looks like app-install-data-ubuntu actually controls that content so I am reassigning to the correct source package.

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

And I submitted a branch that I believe fixes this.

Accepted app-install-data-ubuntu into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

SRU verification for Natty:
I have reproduced the problem with app-install-data-ubuntu 0.11.04.7.3 in natty and have verified that the version of app-install-data-ubuntu 0.11.04.7.4 in -proposed fixes the issue.

Marking as verification-done
