I think it makes sense, in particular since we are already backporting iceweasel/icedove. And the Icedove maintainer just explained me that the backports use again the bundled nspr because they need a newer version compared to what we have in our stable releases. So that would also allow us to avoid using embedded libraries that we have to track separately afterwards...
