Package: iceape
Severity: serious
The Debian Mozilla maintainers don't have the resources to support Iceape
over the timeframe of Lenny security support. Other people have been asked
on debian-devel to help out, but with no effect.
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505565#10)
The problem of dropping Iceape is that it provides a Xulrunner -dev package,
iceape-dev, based on Xulrunner 1.8, while Xulrunner in Lenny (the one that
Iceweasel uses) is based on 1.9, so it can't be dropped easily, since the
following seventeen packages build-depend on iceape-dev:
vlc
gcj-4.2
gtk-vnc
openoffice.org
gnome-chemistry-utils
mozilla-traybiff
gcj-4.3
icedtea-gcjwebplugin
rhythmbox
cacao-oj6
totem
mplayerplug-in
classpath
eclipse
mozilla-bonobo
openjdk-6
gecko-mediaplayer
Two approaches to resolve this have been proposed:
1. Providing the -dev package from Icedove (which is also based on Xul 1.8)
2. Dropping all binary packages from Iceape except the iceape-dev package.
This option has the downside that there would still be the need for updates,
but they would only be made on a best effort basis, since they're less
severe (the respective components are mostly used for plugins or xpcom
components and the majority of web browser attacks doesn't apply).
(3. Find a volunteer, who builds the updates for Iceape (the patches are
provided by Red Hat and Canonical), but that hasn't worked out so far.
Cheers,
Moritz

Description:
iceape-dev - Development files for the Iceape Internet Suite
iceape-dev-bin - Development files for the Iceape Internet Suite
Closes: 511477
Changes:
iceape (1.1.14-1.1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Drop all binary packages except iceape-dev and iceape-dev-bin.
Debian doesn't have the necessary volunteer resources to support Iceape
for Lenny. Unfortunately we can't drop Iceape completely that late in the
release cycle, since a few packages have build dependencies on Xulrunner
1.8, but it mitigates the problem a lot. (Closes: #511477)
* Build libxpcom.so, libxpcom-compat.so and libxpcom_core.so into the
iceape-dev-bin binary package and add a Conflicts on iceape-browser
