One: you can't read. I said that the patches are of questionable
quality. Others in this thread have amply proven that Debian makes
changes that have destabilized Firefox on Debian. I read the original
thread entirely in the Debian bug tracking system. The Mozilla team has
definitely looked at some of the differences and found them wanting (the
Debian team has, for example, changed how the branding is done rather
than using the branding switch that the Mozilla team provided for this
very reason).

Yet ... if Debian doesn't fix this now, they're breaking trademark
issues for years after, given that Debian releases so rarely.

Except that it's not my claim. It's the claim of the Mozilla developers
-- and a lot of people on this very thread.
