Severity: wishlist thanks Hello Ximin,
as you wrote there are two different libxul.so files. That's correct. One under /usr/lib/icedove/ for Icedove and the other one in /usr/lib/xulrunner-[ver]/ for Iceweasel. The reason for this are different needings for this librarys. Icedove don't use the same functions as iceweasel does and somtimes there are functions that are named same but have different internal functions. That's why it's not really possible to build one "for all" library. This is not a debian specific nature. Maybe someday Mozilla will fix this and build really *one* libxul*.so. As long this doesn't happen some packages have to package really twice. Maybe there is a upstream bug opend for this?
