Please note that Mozilla is constantly updating to newer rustc and LLVM versions. That means that preparing a new major ESR release for Debian requires not just the packaging of the firefox-esr and thunderbird updates, but also some very complex toolchain components. Those components are usually already in unstable/testing, but for stable, oldstable, and LTS, the toolchain must be backported first. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
