Having adopted this package just a few days ago, I'm not sure I understand
everything here.

This bug doesn't appear to be a regression from a security upload of
vimperator (unless there is a security update I can't see from the
changelog).

So I'm guessing it must be the security update to Iceweasel that broke
vimperator support. Is that correct?

In which case, I guess the simplest fix is to upgrade this extension to
2.3.1 (i.e. new minor upstream version) in squeeze.

Looking at the changelog for the last upload to sid, I see only necessary
changes and trivial ones:

needed:

   * New upstream release
   * Use the right upstream license in debian/copyright
     (2.3.1 has a new license)

minor:

   * Remove versioned dependency on iceweasel
   * Adopting this package with Pierre's permission.
   * Move git repo to collab-maint on git.debian.org
   * Update homepage and download URL
   * Install the upstream changelog
   * Add ${misc:depends} dependency (lintian warning)
   * Remove period in short description (lintian warning)
   * Use 3.0 (quilt) source format
   * Bump Standards-Version and debhelper compat

So maybe I should put all of that in my proposal a squeeze stable update?

Cheers,
Francois
