* Switch to using unversioned binaries. This means that firefox and
  firefox-gnome-support are no longer meta-packages depending on the latest
  versioned binary packages, but they ship the binary components. Convert
  firefox-3.0* packages to meta packages which pull in the unversioned binaries
  to ensure a smooth upgrade path
  - update debian/control
  - rename debian/firefox-3.0-dev.install => debian/firefox-dev.install

* Implement MIN_SYS_DEPS approach that does not use system xulrunner
  and only a minimal set of system dependencies.
  + drop patches not required anymore:
    - delete debian/patches/dont_depend_on_nspr_sources.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  + move .install lines that depend on whether MIN_SYS_DEPS is used or not
    to debian/rules in ifneq (,$(MIN_SYS_DEPS)) blocks
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/firefox.install
  + ship gnome support .so's inside of the main package, but keep dependencies in
    the (now empty) gnome-support package; to achieve this, we first install
    the gnome support files in the -gnome-support package and move them to the
    main package _after_ shlib depends where generated
    - update debian/rules
  + do not build-depend on xulrunner dev package anymore; local xulrunner builds
    with MIN_SYS_DEPS=0 should still work though
    - update debian/control
  + fix firefox.sh to handle all-static build
    - update debian/firefox.sh.in
* Fix LP: #398121 - firefox-3.5-gnome-support failed to install/upgrade; we
  make the postinst script more failsafe

* Add libstartup-notification0-dev to build-deps as it now seems to be
  mandatory on lpia
  - update debian/control
* Add libasound2-dev to Build-Depends for the new HTML5 <video> tag
  - update debian/control
* Add libiw-dev to build-depends to fix build failure
  - update debian/control
* Add libnotify-dev to build-depends
  - update debian/control
* adjust packaging to support localized searchplugins
  + ship default searchplugins in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-US/
    and link that directory to $(DEBIAN_FF3_DIR)/distribution/searchplugins instead
    of the main firefox APP_DIR
    - update debian/rules
  + set default searchplugin locale pref to en-US - which is used as a
    fallback if no matching searchplugins/LOCALE directory exists for the
    current locale directory
    - update debian/firefox.js
  + do not install upstream searchplugins through debhelper file and
    install "debsearch" to the new distribution/.../en-US location
    - update debian/firefox.install
  + ship "common" searchplugins link that points to the old default
    searchplugins location '/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/
    - update debian/rules
    - update debian/firefox.links
  + rework localized search engine patch to use ChromeRegistry locale
    information rather than a char pref; also change plugin dir order to allow
    locale specific searchplugins to overlay the ones shipped in
    "searchplugins/common"
    - add debian/patches/bz515232_att399338_distro_locale_searchplugins.patch

  (bug 422829); we drop our previously used nspr pkgconfig patch and fix
  configure.in to not require in-source nspr if libxul-sdk is used
  - delete debian/patches/nspr_flags_by_pkg_config_hack.patch
  - add debian/patches/bzXXX_libxul_sdk_nspr.patch

  with --enable-ipc
  - update debian/rules
* Fix LP: #443147 - Firefox on ARM inappropriately adds scroll bars to many

  mozilla tree build on armel; the scroll bar only manifests on lucid toolchain
  when using the upstream optimization flag mix
  - update debian/rules
