[Bug 293530] [NEW] ship gnome-support binaries in default firefox package, but without explicit gnome depends

[Alexander Sack]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

forked from 292403.

One solution is to drop firefox gnome-support package completely (or
keep it as a dependency-only) package and explicitly strip the gnome
supports from depends.

The gnome support bits are dynamically loaded xpcom components anyway,
so they will disable automagically when not all dependencies are
installed. This should allow kde users to just install firefox.

The main goal (and this is where the main resources should go) should
still be proper kde integration support in firefox 3.1. without the
gnome support libs major features of firefox become dysfunctional: mime-
type handling as one important part.
