For this specific case, reloadevery seems to work fine in iceweasel 24,
so I’ll just patch install.rdf to make an upload to unstable, thanks for
the detailed information.

About mozilla-devscripts behaviour, maybe translating to something like:

xpi:Depends=iceweasel (>= 25~)
xpi:Breaks=iceweasel (<< 25~)

may be less suspicious, but I don’t feel strongly about it (maybe just
closing the bug as wontfix would be saner).

Please note that this behaviour can also be seen in xul-ext-greasemonkey
from experimental.

Regards

David
