There is no difference, the nspr version bundled in nss 3.11 is 4.6.1,
too. We like modularity, so we normally don't merge packages that are
available separately from the upstream developers.

That's in fact a bug in our firefox package (resp. in upstream firefox
regarding firefox-nspr.pc and in the system-nss patch regarding
firefox-nss.pc), we should just not install/delete them. I'll remove
them for our next firefox build. It might be convenient to keep them
around but patching affected packages shouldn't be hard.
Besides evolution and firefox we use nspr and nss only for xmlsec1 (OO.o
dependency) and OpenOffice.org - if our deps are entered correctly. We
patch xmlsec1[1] and just use an ugly workaround in OpenOffice.org as
patching OO.o is painful ;)
