That seems reasonable to me but there may be a good reason why it's not
done by default.
What needs fixing is the spec file for the jpackage java package so that
if MOZ_DIST_BIN comes back as "$MOZ_LIB_DIR/firefox-1.0.4" then it goes
back and looks to see what MOZ_LIB_DIR is (using the same method as for
finding MOZ_DIST_BIN) and substitues that. Not terribly difficult.
