Bug#610499: mozilla-devscripts expands ${xpi:Depends} too narrowly

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.25
Severity: normal
I help maintain xul-ext-monkeysphere for debian and as part of
upstream.
Upstream mainly uses debian, and we maintain an apt repo for users of
other debian-style systems to pull from.
We just got this report upstream that the xul-ext-monkeysphere package
depends on iceweasel, even though firefox should satisfy the
dependency:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/2716
The debian packaging uses ${xpi:Depends} in debian/control (and
therefore depends on mozilla-devscripts to expand the value). it
seems like this should be iceweasel | firefox since those applications
share a uuid, right? however, it appears to only expand to iceweasel,
which makes the upstream-generated package fail on ubuntu.
If i'm misunderstanding what mozilla-devscripts is supposed to do,
feel free to clarify and close this bug.
Thanks for maintaining mozilla-devscripts!
