Why? The plugin is built with xulrunner-dev and not with mozilla-dev. It
is therefor natural, that the plugin is in /usr/lib/xulrunner and that
all other places symlink to this place.

I'm not in favor of doing this and I wonder, why Ubuntu accepts such a
patch? Where is the benefit of/rationale for this change?
