Ah, right, I forgot that detail.

I'm making an upload installing an absolute symlink.  Although this
violates a 'should' directive of Debian Policy, Firefox ESR 45 is the
version that will go into stretch, and so this package needs to be
patched to work with that version.

Once all versions of Firefox in testing and unstable are at least
version 48, the workaround can be undone.
