[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#941112: mozilla-devscripts: Using a debian/install-webext file breaks dh_webext

[Olivier Tilloy]

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.53
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

While trying to use dh_webext to update the packaging for the new upstream version of enigmail, I needed to use a debian/install-webext file to specify that the extension should be symlinked for thunderbird under /usr/share/webext (by default it is symlinked for gecko, based on the information in the extension's manifest file).
Adding a debian/install-webext file breaks dh_webext because there's a call to install_for_app with one parameter too many at line 211. This is a leftover from https://salsa.debian.org/webext-team/webext-devscripts/commit/eb8d7ec09190bdf02ae86475a1e252121d72a861 where the 'supported' parameter was removed, except for that one call site.

I have verified that removing the 'supported' parameter from that call site allows me to use dh_webext as expected.
