Mozilla prefers using their own system in this case. It has some pros,
like user don't have to download debug packages (which is approx 80MB
for each package). Building the symbols for Mozilla is also quite easy.
They have everything prepared in their makefiles and their debug info is
just one zip file. All we need is to put this zip file somewhere that
mozilla could pull it (or we push it after package is released). This
zip file should be left aside from regular rpm package (read unpublished).
