Other business

• Problem: npviewer.bin keeps crashing on Hardy
• Action: file a bug about removing libflashssupport from ia32-libs
• Problem: outdated extensions
• Action: look over all extensions and see if they a) have been updated in this cycle at all or b) if they can be updated.
• Problem: mozilla-devscripts is not in Debian, so we're still diverging from Debian's extension packages
• Actions:
  • file RFP for mozilla-devscripts and get it into debian archive
  • asac to find out if initial uploads to debian strictly require a wnpp bug
  • blacklist mozilla-devscripts for auto-syncher/MoM
  • create debian branch with initial mozilla-devscript debian1 version
