Hi,

@David: thanks a lot for looking into this!

Indeed... I should have looked beyond than what
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disconnect/ was telling
me. Many icons under firefox/content/disconnect.safariextension in the
source tree are, I guess, problematic to distribute. So, even if we
were willing to package a rebranded version of this extension (to
avoid issues with upstream's trademark policy and non-free logos), we
would still not be there.

@Freepto folks: are you interested in looking at this deeper, e.g.
to find ways to replace the non-free icons with others? If not,
I think we should simply close this RFP bug.

There are also quite a few embedded code copies:

I've not looked at which of these ones are available in Debian.

Cheers,
