[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#704704: incompatible with iceweasel 20.0

[Ximin Luo]

+pkg-mozext

This bug more correctly belongs to mozilla-devscripts as we use that package to generate dependencies. But I disagree that it's a bug at all. IIRC, your suggested behaviour was previously the default and we shifted away from it, because it means

- safe-upgrade won't be able to automatically upgrade your browser.
- more importantly, the extension still works for icedove; we want the user to be able to install both the latest icedove and iceweasel, AND this extension should be installable (and it should be enabled for icedove and disabled for iceweasel)

I intend to close this bug unless other arguments can be made to counter the above.
