Meta data for XUL based applications

[Benjamin Drung]

Hi,

I am working on improving mozilla-devscripts for packaging XUL
extensions [1]. The current version of mozilla-devscripts contains a
hardcoded list of XUL based applications and their start and end of life
versions. Instead of hardcoding these information, the applications
itself should provide the information. Please add following information
to your binary package in debian/control:

Xb-Xul-AppId:
Xb-Xul-Eol:

Packages that do not contain any certain end of life version should omit
Xb-Xul-Eol.

For firefox-3.5 it would look like:
Xb-Xul-AppId: {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}
Xb-Xul-Eol: 3.5.*

For iceweasel it would look like:
Xb-Xul-AppId: {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}

For xulrunner-1.9.1 it would be:
Xb-Xul-AppId: toolkit at mozilla.org
Xb-Xul-Eol: 1.9.1.*

Affected packages for Debian and Ubuntu:
conkeror
xulrunner-1.9
xulrunner-1.9.1

Affected Debian packages:
iceweasel
icedove
iceape

Affected Ubuntu packages:
abrowser-3.5
firefox-3.0
firefox-3.5
thunderbird
seamonkey
sunbird
prism

Do you agree with the names Xul-AppId and Xul-Eol or do you have better
names for them? Should I file bugs for all those applications?
