Well, shit. I'm sorry, Marco and by implication anyone else affected. I 
just did what Oliver did in confirming that the firefox deb ISN'T 
installed by default AFTER I posted this message. I could have sworn 
that it was. Mea culpa, lesson learned and all that.

However, I still believe the main issue is an apt deficiency in not 
being able to rank the suitability of a package in order to satisfy a 
virtual dependency. the Firefox situation just brought the issue to the 
forefront.
