Thank you for taking care of this.

I'm a bit surprised this bug was fixed by optimistically betting the
extension will work with any future iceweasel version; I understood
the introduction of ${xpi:Breaks} as a way to express in a more formal
and strict way the guaranteed fact that "extension X works fine with
this set of versions of iceweasel"; therefore, the s/9\.0a1/*/ patch
introduced in requestpolicy/0.5.23-3 seems like a step backward to me.
So this makes me curious: is that commonly considered good practice
among the Debian Mozilla Extension team? Do we patch other XUL
extensions this way in Debian? Is there a project of doing this
consistently to all XUL extensions packaged in Debian, or merely to go
on doing this on a case by case basis, only when needed?
Cheers,
