Bug#507491: totem-mozilla: debug output on stderr clutters .xsession-errors; bugreports etc.

Package: totem-mozilla
Version: 2.22.2-5
Severity: normal

It turns out that totem-mozilla is responsible for messages
such as 

** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)
** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2)
** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1)

...being printed out on the consoles when running apps
(such as epiphany, firefox, etc.) which pull in the plugin
in this package.

Please disable this as it clutters up bug reports which
look at the output of these programs and in some cases can
fill the (finite) xsession-errors buffer, preventing other
apps from putting in (more useful) diagnostics.

(I'm going to look at reporting this upstream now)
