-xul package lacks binary depends on xulrunner-1.9.
fwiw, how essential is the -xul support? It uses its own glue wrapper to load and use mozjs (which is better than directly linking against mozjs using -rpath) ... mozjs however has no api policy and putting this in main might cause issues on xulrunner sec updates.
Maybe we can disable -xul part of the build or simply not ship that bin package in main until mozjs devs have come up with a policy? |

I'm fine with keeping the XUL package in universe.
third_party/xdgmime is actually LGPL 2 or later, I've uploaded a new version with a corrected debian/copyright. LGPL should be able to link with an Apache licenced library and GPL 3 is compatible with Apache 2 licence. |

Thanks for fixing the licensing. LGPL 2 should be ok if xdgmime is not a consumer of apache licensed code, just not the other way around; also being a consumer would be possible with LGPL 3 or later ... so since its "or later" should be fine too.
@-xul binary in universe: Technically possible, I don't like the idea of having an unsupportable binary in universe built from a source in main; that should be really the exception; I would still prefer to see the -xul package being disabled for now or would that break rdepends in universe?

Patch attached which would remove xul from it if that's what is needed.

rejecting google gadgets for the time being because mozjs doesnt have stable ABI/API policy - which should be easy to fix once they come up with a proper policy. Hopefully we can rely on mozjs in jaunty+1 |
