The attached patch to install-xpi works for me (i don't know if any of
the cdbs stuff needs patching -- i just use straight debhelper).

What's the timeline like for getting a new version of mozilla-devscripts
with this and with some automated configfile handling?

I'd like to convert firegpg to mozilla-devscripts if possible, and i've
got another couple xul-ext packages in the pipeline that i'd like to
have these features.

Regards,
