Ok. Sorry that I didn't catch your emphasis on not adding the -bin suffix, 
I didn't notice. That's what I will do. Thanks for your feedback though.
I really do appreciate other's point of view (even when I don't like it 
myself :)))

My preference in general (as a packager) is that developers define/enforce 
a standard so that distributions are obliged to work the same. And leaving 
something like this up to the packager is not a good solution, on the 
other hand the root of the problem lies with mozilla.

So thanks again for making your stance clear, new packages are hitting the 
mirrors as we speak :)

Kind regards,
