I did land few minor commits to improve "dh_webext" but frankly I'm not sure 
what it is intended to do... Perhaps someone else have a strategic vision 
regarding what dh_webext should become.

Due to other priorities and commitments I have no time to work on dh_webext;
my Python skills are mediocre and my first approach to symlink uncompressed 
addon was quite easy so I thought that dh_webext just adds complexity to a 
straightforward task... Though that was before I've discovered that we need 
to compress addons for Firefox or somehow drop its extension caches... I 
suppose dh_webext could take care of that but I can't/won't be the one to 
work on that...
