It looks like the only way we can go is to change the name. I'm going
to do that as soon as humanly possible.

The other issue is if we can still distribute the firefox packages we
already have in sarge. If etch releases as scheduled we will still be
backporting security fixes into that version until Dec. 2007 (or as
long as it is remains possible). Etch will become the new stable
release in Dec, so it's doubtful any new users will install sarge
after that point. So is keeping the name in sarge permissible?
