[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#907740: webext-debianbuttons: significantly less convenient than the old xul-ext-debianbuttons

[Paul Wise]

Package: webext-debianbuttons
Version: 2.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #907740

There are two things that can be done here:

Since this extension is mostly delivered as a Debian package, it should
be trivial for the Debian package to contain multiple extensions and
thus have the same amount of buttons as the XUL extension did. You
could even have the current setup as one extension (perhaps split into
a webext-debianmenu Debian package) for those who prefer that and then
one extension for each standalone button. You would of course need to
add a build system or symlink tree for this stuff.

Extensions can call native binaries, so you could depend on packages
like xclip andwl-clipboard and have a helper script to grab the
clipboard and inject it into the extension. See the Debian package
webext-browserpass for an example of how this works.
