Hello fellow developers, I've noticed more than once that extensions for Mozilla applications are being merged just to change the dependencies (and in some cases the description) from the package names in Debian to those in Ubuntu (iceweasel -> firefox, iceape -> seamonkey, icedove -> thunderbird), and I wanted to point out that this alone is not enough for the package to work in Ubuntu.
It's necessary to look in debian/links (or debian/rules if the package uses dh_link directly) and change the directories there (/usr/lib/iceweasel/ to /usr/lib/firefox/ and so on), as else the applications won't detect the extension. As a side note, if it works on Firefox 3 you'll also want to ensure that the package creates a symlink in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/ (as, iirc, usr/lib/firefox/ is only for version 2).
