I've not had time to fiddle yet so I'll see if I can work out the
soundwrapper thing at some point. We can always disable soundwrapper
anyway. I do find it useful for e.g. realplayer and other plugins, but
if it has to be sacrificed then I say it's a small concession. IIRC 2008
didn't have it.

I think that secteam will probably want to keep 2.x around (and we
should probably still ship it in contrib anyway) for a while and keep
using it for the backports. Only when Mozilla EOL it do we really need
to bother consider moving the older distros to FF3. I doubt the policy
exception for new version of firefox extends to new *major* versions....
(if it did, it's probably the shortest path to a Vincent explosion ;))
