Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla
Please remove mozilla from feisty (see also Debian bug #370436):
RM: mozilla -- unmaintained, abandoned upstream, RC-buggy
The following packages need to be also removed:
- enigmail-mailnews: bug #85090
- several locales: bug #41555, bug #41533, bug #85104, bug #85106, bug #85108, bug #85111, bug #85114, bug #85124
- checky: bug #85129
- cascades: bug #85131
- flashplayer-
- libgtk-
The following packages have been uploaded with fixed depends:
- imagezoom
- tiemu
- webhttrack
- wysihtml
- tilp
- meta-j2re1.
- meta-ul
gtk2hs build-depends on mozilla-dev but it FTBFS (because of ghc 6.6) since the first upload and there aren't any build debs. A UVF exception to sync a fixed version is filed as bug #85135.
Several other packages have mozilla-dev as an alternative build-depends to libxul-dev and mozilla-browser as an alternative to firefox.
Martin Pitt provided me a list of rdepends to check. There shouldn't be any left which have a strict dependency on any package from mozilla.
Thanks.

mozilla will be removed from the archive pretty soon. Once this is done, we can decide on whether we want a community maintained seamonkey or not. Probably we could base it on debians iceape package to not redo too much work.

Did a first round of rdepends removals, will check the remaining rdepends again in a bit when archive has settled.

If you mean removing the mozilla suite from feisty than i would agree on that.
A replacement for it is http://
Maybe add this to take mozillas suites place?
