Agreed. > Packages relying on xulrunner-dev to build plugins should still be fine, > though.

As for libmozjs, GNOME has 2 reverse deps: gjs and libproxy. There has been talk to remove gjs from GNOME and focus on seed, I think it will happen around GNOME 3.4 - in time for wheezy, but we need to keep it working in the meantime. As for libproxy, we’re waiting for JSCore to be split out of webkit - this has happened in git master already. Once this is done, we can make JSCore a hard dependency for libproxy and remove spidermonkey support. Cheers, -- .''`.
