Don't think of an Ubuntu release of a collection of different products
but as just one product. The idea is to provide a working
environment with as few changes as possible during its lifetime that
still gets fixes for important bugs.

That's because Mozilla doesn't support older versions and doesn't allow
you to distribute patched versions under the original names.
