Description
andersk@ozok-the-destroyer:~$ debsums -as ubufox debsums: missing file /etc/xul-ext/ubufox.js (from ubufox package)
We fail to undivert /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/ubufox.js after conditionally diverting it, of course, but that’s only half the story. From ubufox.postinst:
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le "0.9~rc2-0ubuntu1"; then mv_conffile /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/ubufox.js /etc/xul-ext/ubufox.js fi
So we also need to add conditional versioned dependencies on ubufox. Fun.

OK, we should probably actually deal with this after punting for over a year. I actually went and installed Jaunty and upgraded ubufox in an attempt to reproduce the broken state to see what's going on. After the upgrade to ubufox 0.9~rc2-0ubuntu1 or newer:
- /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/ contains ubufox.js.debathena and ubufox.js.debathena-orig
- /etc/xul-ext contains ubufox.js.dpkg-new
- /etc/xul-ext contains a broken symlink named ubufox.js pointing at the nonexistent target ubufox.js.debathena
Undiverting the file using c-p-d is going to trigger an ominous warning. We failed to divert /etc/xul-ext/ubufox.js (and we may not end up doing that), so my primary goal is to clean up the old diversion and restore some semblance of functionality to the user's machine. I think r25520 does that.
