Package: gnome-core Version: 1:3.14+4 Severity: wishlist gnome-core depends on "firefox-esr | firefox". However, the firefox package already only exists in unstable; users of testing and stable only have firefox-esr available. If gnome-core depended on "firefox | firefox-esr", users of unstable would get firefox installed, while users of testing or stable would still get firefox-esr. Assuming those users continue running unstable, they'll get timely updates for the firefox package, so no concern about becoming unsupported.
This would also make it easier for users like me who have metapackages depending on both gnome and "firefox | iceweasel" (to support both unstable and stable). With those dependencies, I end up with both firefox and firefox-esr installed; with gnome-core's dependencies swapped around, I'd end up with only firefox installed. Thanks, Josh Triplett
