I don't think this wins anything, because Ubuntu through Gutsy
uses /usr/lib/firefox/extensions, but Ubuntu Hardy (which has Firefox 3)
will use /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions, and Debian (which has
Iceweasel) uses /usr/lib/iceweasel/extensions. The strategy of
installing to a neutral directory and having the packaging put symlinks
at the target locations seems better.
