[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#891882: For distributions managing dependencies like Debian, online software updates have to be switched off

[Volker Birk]

Hi,

the function for online software updates is meant to be switched on on
platforms only, which do not sport a dependency system, like Microsoft
Windows.

Platforms like Debian are expected to switch off online software updates
completely. They're neither helpful nor wanted.

Instead, it is necessary for such platforms to support packaging of the
following p≡p components:

- p≡p engine
- p≡p JSON adapter (in case of Debian)

Later on, p≡p JSON adapter will be replaced by p≡p Free Desktop adapter,
which is meant to sport the JSON interface as well as Qt and a newly
added dbus interface.

Yours,
VB.
