I wanted to know why firefox has not yet made it to testing, and discovered that the build failed on alpha: looking at the buildd logs (go to http://buildd.debian.org/ and search for firefox :) I discovered that the build proceded quite a long way but then died near what I take to be the end:

Any clue? Julian
