Bug#819371: Please depend on "firefox | firefox-esr" rather than the reverse

[Josh Triplett]

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:3.14+4
Severity: wishlist

gnome-core depends on "firefox-esr | firefox".  However, the firefox
package already only exists in unstable; users of testing and stable
only have firefox-esr available.  If gnome-core depended on "firefox |
firefox-esr", users of unstable would get firefox installed, while users
of testing or stable would still get firefox-esr.  Assuming those users
continue running unstable, they'll get timely updates for the firefox
package, so no concern about becoming unsupported.

This would also make it easier for users like me who have metapackages
depending on both gnome and "firefox | iceweasel" (to support both
unstable and stable).  With those dependencies, I end up with both
firefox and firefox-esr installed; with gnome-core's dependencies
swapped around, I'd end up with only firefox installed.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
