  Description     : delete cookies not used by any open tab

This is a useful replacement for xul-ext-self-destructing-cookies, which
doesn't work with the new Firefox ESR 60.0.

Hi Christoph,

(I think you wanted #908285, not #919458 here. Resending to all
all on your behalf…)

Indeed, and that's why I spent a few hours on this.

Summary, it's not that easy.

Here are my findings so other people have to go throught this again: The
pre-compiled .xpi contains a bundles/ subdirectory which is essential
for cookie-autodelete to work.

These files are missing in the sources, and if I understand correctly,
they are gathered when building using npm - while in the Debian
ecosystem they should rather be shipped by other packages. One of them
might be node-react which hasn't reached testing yet and I'm not sure
whether it will in time for buster freeze.

Minor issue: dh_webext installs the files in an "extensions/"
subdirectory where firefox will not find the extensions. Might require
some tweaking but is not a blocker.

So I'll give up on this for the moment. If anybody else feels
comfortable to continue, go ahead.
