Blue Shell PPA for Firefox -- package name confusion

[Rohan Garg]

Alrighty, here's a solution that I propose :

Add a firefox-kde meta package that declares a explicit dependency on the
firefox from the PPA ( as well as kmozillahelper ). This is the
package targeted towards the general users who want Firefox and KDE
integration.

Other users who want Firefox with KDE integration but still want to get
security updates can install the specific firefox version from the ppa by
supplying the version over the apt command line or adding the PPA and
upgrading.

Thoughts?

Best
