15 I guess the only reason for mozilla-firefox-in is the one it was
16 originally started: it can take ages to compile these packages on a
17 low-end machine.

23 thunderbird and thunderbird-bin aren't blocking each other, so I'd
24 guess they won't get into each others way. rhunderbird-bin gets
25 installed to /opt, I don't see a problem in having them both installed.
