[Bug 931829] [NEW] firefox 10 esr needs packaging

[stlubuntu]

Public bug reported:

Friends, I understand, respect, and accept that Firefox-10-esr will not
be installed as a default package in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (and likewise
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.)

However, I would very much like to see it packaged (and ideally in the
repositories) so it would be an option for those who so choose and who
are informed of the limitations, arguments, and risks.

Naturally, it is possible to download the tarball containing the
binaries from Mozilla, extract them to /opt (or /usr/local/bin) and
symlink appropriately, but it would be preferable to maintain the
packages in the repositories (for ease of upgrade when each point
release is issued.)

If the decision is made not to package firefox esr in the main or
universe repository, Mr. Coulson, would you consider packaging it in
your ppa (that you are in the process of retiring)?  mozillateam
/firefox-stable   The ppa name would actually still be appropriate.

I would be glad to help but would need (at least initially) a good step
by step tutorial in getting the right source code files and uploading
them to the ppa.

Thanks so much for your consideration.

Further, kudos for all of your work and sharing of your time and
talents.
