Please don't add xulrunner-2.0 since there's only one browser left that
uses it.  Can't we solve this (for oneiric and on) by making the NPAPI
capable browsers provide a virtual package that these plugins can depend
on?

Title:
  Forcing installation of firefox

Status in “icedtea-web” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  icedtea-plugin 1.1~20110406-0ubuntu2 have a strict and exclusive
  depends on only 1 browser : firefox. But the plugin works also with
  Chromium, without the need of firefox package.

  Please add some alternative to firefox depends in debian/rules (line
  72 : xulrunner_depends = firefox (>= 4.0~b7) | chromium-browser |
  other_browser ....)
