Well. Techincally, you could do this (tedious, but can be done in half an hours): 1) Copy your mozilla deb, giving it the name of the new "fixed" revision 2) Unpack it into a safe place; unpack the control part of it as well (both using dpkg-deb) 3) Apply the patch to that wrapper script 4) Modify the version information in the control are 5) Re-assemble it all under the correct name. Again, this is not really trivial, but if you are desperate, it's possible (I have used this trick myself once in the past, to fix a dependeny in xfree86).
