Since the current package is from more than one year ago, there surely
are.

The main reason is that the package was out of sync with Debian for a
while because it didn't work anymore with Ubuntu's xulrunner (which
doesn't allow xulrunner-stub to be symlinked) and hasn't been synced
anymore after that problem has been fixed in Debian in January.
I asked Alexander Sack several times since January to have a look at
this, but the only reply that I got was that the package may be kicked
out anyway due to Mozilla's new release policy. Maybe that's the
reason why nobody synced it earlier.
