Hm, a very strange logic. If you can not decide what I should do, then I can not
claim that I don't have time? Are you joking?

> I want to upstrem this bugfix.
As I have already written, in this case I have nothing against integration of a
solution, that is against specification, but is active only in case a special
build argument is provided.

The specification for the Mozilla pugin activation is indeed a strange one. It
does not pass even to OOo design. In OOo the decision, whether it is active or
not should be taken during OOo installation I think.

I have nothing against changing it in the way, that the plugin is activated
during the installation. But that should be done for all platforms then. And I
personally will not be able to do it in close future for the reason, you dislike
so much: because I have not enough time for this task.

If you would like to change it in the way, I have mentioned, even for the
official build, please do it. But please do it consistently with specification
change and for all platforms. If you have no resources for the complete
solution, please integrate a solution, that is active only in your build.

I would expect, that a distro creates the link in the central Mozilla plugin
directory.

And only in case the user installs plugin locally, the installation should have
an option to create the link locally, but this scenario has nothing to do with
the distro installation.
