Part of Debian's archive management process - it basically means that
packages become available.

xulrunner is a supported build target for Yelp, Epiphany and so on in GNOME
(supported for a while now), and it looks like Debian are considering making
it their build target for those apps.

Not really, xulrunner is just the core platform for Mozilla, Firefox and
friends, and using it only avoids a particular class of problems, but not
most of the really troublesome ones.

We could change our default build target to xulrunner for Dapper+1. It will
be something to consider then.
