Great! I'm going to update the involved tickets.

Currently, we cannot easily build and updated package yet: I've just
asked Mike Hommey to push his esr/master Git branch online. In any
case, I doubt I'll be able to prepare and upload updated packages
before Wednesday evening CEST, more probably Thursday.

So the question is whether we want to give a few more testing days to:

 (A) the diff between an unpatched iceweasel
     and the new iceweasel + torbrowser one


or to:

 (B) the (I guess) tiny 10.0.9..10.0.10 diff
     (FWIW, the TorBrowser patches did not need any update in between.)


I think the first one is the biggest and riskiest change, so my answer
is clearly (A). So, IMHO let's put the RC2 out ASAP (I'll test and
merge the updated tordate thing within 2 hours).

Cheers,
