Perhaps it's worse than it first appeared to you, but it's exactly as bad as I knew it to be. The choices were to break self-hosting of all nss reverse-deps in testing on all archs, or to make all xulrunner reverse-deps in testing completely uninstallable on mips* in testing. (Not updating at all was a worse option than either of these under the circumstances.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
