Firefox 1.5 for Breezy Universe?

[Martin Meredith]

I am currently in the process of packaging firefox-preview, which will
be in universe hopefully.

The Version numbers of Firefox etc etc isn't really a problem, as the
package management allows us to work with version numbers properly, as
long as the person creating the packages for 1.5/2.0 knows what they are
doing, which I do, and I'm sure Martin Pitt does too.

Also, we will mose likely backport Firefox from Breezy +1 to Breezy when
the point arrives.
