Moreover this will make firefox2-bin-${PLUGIN} obsolete because the only
difference with the according firefox-bin-${PLUGIN} packages is

-DEPENDS+=		firefox-bin>=0.8:../../www/firefox-bin
+DEPENDS+=		firefox2-bin>=2.0:../../www/firefox2-bin

But nevertheless I think we should revise our browser plugin package
infastructure, so we don't need to create (mostly identical) plugin
packages for every browser (firefox, firefox2, seamonkey, ...).
