Well, Ubuntu started the transition in Lucid and it's not entirely completed yet. We still have a handful of sources that we cannot rebuild due to the transition. There are also a few broken applications that we still have to patch. In addition, we had to drop most of the extensions from the archive and a few less popular applications that were built on xulrunner. Also, Ubuntu does not have the resources to backport security fixes for EOL gecko versions. That was the main push to have xulrunner-1.9.2 in Lucid (3 yr desktop support). Since Debian is committed to providing backported security fixes for EOL versions and the greater number of packages involved, I think what Mike Hommey said before is the way to go for Squeeze and sid.
