I thought the same and looked on the home page (where you have to search this information again!). Apparently it is for Firefox which brings me on two points: a) Without haing further looked on your package you may want to reconsider package name and description to something more useful. Remember, it is the showcase for your program. The user has to learn what it is about by the name and possibly the synopsis. Be as verbose as possible. b) How is that different to the undo close tab button, being in upstream already? - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJN3tJiAAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtBYYP/3YigpjBplB9e3LLOCXiTtCk PWggtQIOP0bf+bOdbcw3vUlrFdc6QRfuPq0DIuTbJQuCcLtojjky3pXKKyjvVYX5 /AOAc3aiqWFe5n9dRTnmXg1Dx3x4Mc4S4SgsdtDsDlHzkDJ0v6DuP5QAn8Vau219 D8mLu+E7SAwxTDXU4m/H8gqSaVaIOx0pK5h8HSmiPu4YEWAQYOEfXA6xMxiaaLCx p9IihxvgtOlBIB7zKd/i5GUjCrK1VEn4oSQcnxsDcz0M+NUtZ3152bJEq4koQ3cZ rOp7++W6wQtDAjE4H6fCrENI6X4TUL7ncQWDx1Ni1+SR7ApuXSxtg/ZRJuqYIHvK cY5KCsye8mJl6PQnFSh8AQ2gze9CG1aCcnFYyaKrIQqCAUvNNe+OzQaaHbLzM6/s 3swUeHX2cFr35wOgvc5cJVMX1KlMGyxnTgo06hboBPUw1HVQXU4w0eEJgff4pchs EicjYGRo6sCXncGwwuq/5126ifVFoVXJ0yliiArTXnF6QC3pSnkGq1ol+VvrKz3D uf8k/GZqg6W7zu5A2P/DGhTMLUe5kJ5Cm41lNP9mLVyYknMp0d8/EluypJqBVLLl cOh5rcz9bCcJhWGNGil8iIDrL58XseP2fU8GK3Capxbwzy3UPy3tZj522FLkBDiu pqxeAXN63DhlrbQduWXE =fd9S -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think ‘xul-foo’ is the naming convention for a XUL “foo” package (since this modifies the Firefox/Iceweasel UI, I assume that describes this package). I agree with other concerns voiced: this appears to be an unnecessary package.
