This should not be needed for the stable lifetime of Wheezy, once
#690729 is fixed (iceweasel: Please add a 'Breaks: xul-ext-torbutton'
in the next ESR upload), as Lunar^ rightfully would rather not ship
torbutton in Wheezy.
However, for current users of testing, such as users who are upgrading
from Squeeze, I think it's totally worth providing the proposed
torbutton. This would ensure:
1. they have a usable iceweasel again
2. they are aware of the serious anonymity issues caused by the new
ESR incompatibility with torbutton, and suggested alternative
solutions. The current situation can be summed up as "false
impression of security", which is clearly not satisfying.
The 1.4.6.3 code changes are bugfixes, comments and translations, and
a single new feature (improved support of transparent proxying) whose
implementation mostly boils down to new configuration settings
handling. I don't know enough JavaScript to pretend I have seriously
reviewed the diff, but I've read it all, and it seems to make sense.
Cheers,
