It is possible to ignore the automatic shared library deps, but it's Really
Really Bad (TM), because you lose the ability to enforce ABI compatibility.

As I mentioned - I think the right thing to do for the example you give would
be to have firefox Require the mozjs plugins subpackage, if it's the case that
the latter depends on the former.  Everything still works automagically that
way.

(It may be necessary to achieve a critical mass of libproxy-enabled apps before
there is enough motivation to add these backwards -plugins dependencies)
