Thank you for breaking every explicit gecko-libs dependency out there in
a branch close to release. :/

You know gecko-libs provides/requires are there exactly to avoid this
sort of thing, right? Both callion and xhorak can probably share some
tips with you about doing xulrunner/firefox + deps upgrades en masse
without bothering all dep maintainers.

The fact that this got directly in stable without accounting the
(avoidable) breakage is another different and unfortunate failure of
process.

I'll wait a bit for someone to do the responsible thing here...
