Well, next week turned out to be next month :-/ Anyways, the package is currently being uploaded to experimental. Unfortunately, it will have to sit in NEW before reaching there, so it won't be available right now. I will upload it on people.d.o [1], too. There are bad news, though. The first one is that libgkmozembed doesn't exist anymore. The second is that I had to follow upstream on the way to build libxul.so and libxpcom.so, which means they are not SOversioned anymore. On the other hand, your upstreams, if they support mozilla 1.9, should have the right things to build against these. The remaining problem will be that you won't get the libxul dependency from shlibs anymore. I hope to be able to provide tools to generate dependencies, but for now, this will have to be done by hand. Note that libxul is not part of the xulrunner-1.9 package. Also, if your upstreams support both linking methods, please prefer the -embedding one (where libxul.so will be dlloaded() by the xpcom standalone glue (libxpcomglue, not libxpcomglue_s)). Whichever method you prefer, you'll have to make your packages depend on xulrunner-1.9. For the -embedding method, build-depend on xulrunner-dev, and for the other method, build-depend on xulrunner-dev-static.
