Is anyone interested in maintaining a mozilla-snapshot package in
experimental?

Err, presumably it should just be called "mozilla" in that case?

That's what I initially suggested, but I'm not sure having 2 mozilla
packages with different maintainers is a good idea; unless they made
sure the packaging is very similar.

I think mozilla-snapshot and mozilla can be installed at the same time,
allowing users to test latest greatest with a safe way out.

Maybe; one of the benefits of doing stuff in experimental is to make sure
it's easy to put into unstable once it's released upstream, or otherwise
ready for unstable -- keeping the same names makes sure NEW processing
is already done, and makes upgrades easy. Having different maintainers
that don't work together probably means having some things work in one
package that won't be preserved in the other, which seems like a loss.
OTOH, if the packages need to be co-installable (a la gcc-3.0 and gcc-3.2)
then different package names are required.
Cheers,a
