Package: democracyplayer
Severity: wishlist

Heya,

It looks like your package depends on a mozilla library. As upstream
declared mozilla to be dead and moved all functionality that is needed
to embed gecko and friends to a new software suite (xulrunner), you
should update your package to work with those. At the moment, it looks
like we don't want to release etch with mozilla [1].

This means that your package needs to update it's
build-dependencies to the new packages provided by xulrunner. The
interface shouldn't have changed, so looking at this mapping, changing
the packaging a bit and doing a test-build should be enough:

libnspr-dev -> libnspr4-dev
libnspr4    -> libnspr4-0d
libnss-dev  -> libnss3-dev
libnss3     -> libnss3-0d  
mozilla-dev -> libxul-dev (probably, you may need to change include pathes)

Maybe you've been lucky and upstream already transitioned to use the
xulrunner environment.

Marc

Footnotes: 
[1]  Mozilla security maintenance isn't easy anyway, but releasing it
     and with that promising security support *after* it was declared
     dead by upstream would be insane. So we don't want to do that.
