  Description     : make easier to use more profiles in Iceweasel and Icedove

Hello,
I would like to package the "profileswitcher" mozilla addon. Upstream author
totally agrees with that, and the changelog shows that he takes care of
compatibility with Debian versions (i.e. Iceweasel and Icedove).

Quoting upstream:
"This extension adds also in the File menu two new items to start another
profile or the profile manager. From the extension's preferences, you can
choose what to do when you launch another profile (close the one in use,
don't close it, ask every time - If you choose to run the profile manager
in safe-mode, the current profile will be always closed). Moreover it can
add the name of the profile in the titlebar or as icon in the statusbar."

The source package will be named "profileswitcher", and the binary package
will be "xul-ext-profileswitcher".

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging profileswitcher. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of profileswitcher from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging profileswitcher, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <749245@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
