Package: swfdec-mozilla
Version: 0.6.0-3
Severity: grave

Justification: The package is not installable on systems which do not already
have the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory

Hello,

When I try to install the "swfdec-mozilla" package to my Debian Sid system,
I get the following output:

=== 8< ===
# apt-get install swfdec-mozilla
Reading package lists... Done

=== >8 ===

This happens because my system does not have the "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"
directory.

For the record, the "mozilla-plugin-gnash" package had a similar problem too.
The maintainer of that package resolved this issue by including the mentioned
directory in the package.
