[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#739075: wheezy-pu: package flashblock/1.5.17-1~deb7u1

Dear Release Team,

The version of flashblock currently in wheezy does not work against
iceweasel 24 (in stable-security), see #738679.

The new upstream versions work fine with iceweasel 24, but there seems to be no
easy way of backporting a simple fix to the wheezy package.

I'm therefore requesting an update of the sage-extension package to the
upstream version 1.5.17 (which has been in jessie since July 2013), with as
little modifications as possible to the Debian packaging. The debdiff is still
big:

 104 files changed, 4385 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-)

See the attached (compressed) debdiff for a full diffstat and patch.

Note that the new version also works with iceweasel 17.

Cheers,

--
