I'm not aware of any restriction which would disallow commiting "SourceX:" files
into CVS. I actually do this a lot with scripts, desktop entries and such. But
putting source files as "PatchX:" seems wrong. Those aren't patches.

But without a proper requirement to make sure the 32bit version of firefox will
be available, this package will be broken.

Then I'd suggest you remove it. Personal opinions should be expressed on lists,
in bugzilla entries, in CVS commit messages... but not in "end user readable
areas" like descriptions, included READMEs and such. Just my personal advice,
though.
