Great. I volonteer to help, learning a little about the Debian packaging
approach.

Debian Sid has 'xulrunner' available as a package in main.
Debian Sarge (stable) does not seem to have it
Debian Etch (testing) has it (version 1.8.0.8-1)

Once Etch becomes the new stable that is possible.

Ubuntu Dapper seems not to have the xulrunner package
available (next to main, I tried turning on universe, multiverse,
backports in the /etc/apt/sources.list + apt-get update, but nothing
brought me xulrunner as the outcome from apt-cache search ...).

I have no direct view on the next version of Ubuntu (Edgy Eft etc.)
[what is the equivalent of packages.debian.org for Ubuntu ?].
