The Etch release notes had a warning about Mozilla's support policy and it was
right
(support for Mozilla 2.x ends in december). We need the same for the Lenny
release
notes and we can reuse the text from Etch:
The Mozilla programs firefox and thunderbird (rebranded in Debian to iceweasel
and icedove, respectively), are important tools for many users. Unfortunately
the upstream security policy is to urge users to update to new upstream
versions, which conflicts with Debian's policy of not shipping large functional
changes in security updates. We cannot predict it today, but during the
lifetime of etch the Debian Security Team may come to a point where supporting
Mozilla products is no longer feasible and announce the end of security support
for Mozilla products. You should take this into account when deploying Mozilla
and consider alternatives available in Debian if the absence of security
support would pose a problem for you.
Cheers,
Moritz
