Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to have mozilla-firefox as third alternative
to ephiphany-browser and galeon. I know that it is not exactly a GNOME
program. Still, being an easy-to-use fast and slim, non-bloated and
standard-compliant piece of software it essentially serves the same
purpose as the other two mozilla-based browsers. 

Plus, it is extrememly popular nowadays.

My personal interest is to save download time, as not having to install
galeon or epiphany-browser would also save me from downloading
mozilla-browser. Plus it would unclutter my 'Internet' menu, given that
installing ephiphany actually adds four menu items ('Web Browser',
'Bookmarks', 'Mozilla Web Browser' and 'Mozilla Composer')

I'm NOT opting for making firefox the default browser, I'm just opting
to add a choice.

To actually fulfil this purpose, the dependency on mozilla-xft |
mozilla-browser (>= 2:1.7-3) should be dropped. This would be possible
if you bump up the depends on ephiphany-browser to (>=1.2.8) and on
Galeon to (>=1.3.17) as those versions depend on the newer
mozilla-browser which has the former mozilla-xft package integrated.

Thanks,

Johannes

Closes: 272922
Changes: 
 meta-gnome2 (59) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * debian/control.in: final 2.6 cleanups, hopefully.
     - [gnome-desktop-environment] bump gdm suggestion to >= 2.6.0.4.
     - [gnome-desktop-environment] following Johannes Rohr's suggestion,
       add mozilla-firefox as a third browser alternative, as it is a
       reasonable replacement for the GNOME browsers. Also, bump the
       required versions of epiphany-browser to 1.2.8 and galeon to 1.3.17,
       which already depend on the mozilla-browser version which integrates
       xft support, and drop mozilla-xft deps entirely. This makes it possible
       to install gnome-desktop-environment just with Firefox in the system.
       (closes: #272922).
     - [gnome-core-devel] tighten libgnomevfs2-dev, libgnome2-dev and
       libgnomeui-dev dependencies for the gnutls11 transition.
     - fix stupid typo in descriptions.
