Package: xul-ext-torbutton
Version: 1.4.5.1-1
Severity: normal

The tor project now seem to recommend using their torbrowser bundle
rather than upstream firefox + torbutton extension; one of the reasons
is that their bundled version of firefox contains several patches
which enable torbutton to work better. If possible these changes
should be made available to users of torbutton/iceweasel in Debian.

Obviously, integrating the individual patches would in most cases
require changes to the iceweasel/xulrunner/etc. packages in Debian,
rather than in the torbutton package; ideally they should be
integrated by upstream (mozilla).
