But then we are not talking about just adding a package to the Depends
line. The plugins would still be only available for xulrunner and ice*
[1]. Supporting Ubuntu too would mean to add more links and then we have
useless plugin links and Debian (for firefox and mozilla-browser) and on
Ubuntu too (for ice*).

This is IMHO not a good idea, because it pollutes the file system on
both, Debian and Ubuntu. IMHO Ubuntu people should care about adjusting
the package for the package pool.

Hm, did not test it yet. Will check this.
