Thanks for creating a Debian package for Conkeror.  Hopefully it will
help increase the Conkeror userbase.  After looking over the package, I
have just a few comments:

1. The conkeror.xulapp file should not be included, as it is used only
   for a particular method of installing Conkeror, and is not needed
   after that.
2. The -help command-line option is actually handled by xulrunner
   itself, and merely displays the canned xulrunner usage information.
   The -width and -height options advertised are not actually
   functional, so they should be removed from the man page.  It would
   not be too hard to create a way to specify an initial size for a
   window to be opened.  (Many users of Conkeror presumably use a tiling
   window manager, making the initial size irrelevant, though.)
