Parent article: Debian and Mozilla - a study in trademarks

Have you even read what was written before ?

I asked: what's so problematic about trademark issue.

I've got answer: it can preclude Debian from backporting bugfixes - and what then to do ?

I ask: duh... this already happened - and what Debian did ?

This time it's technical difference, next time it'll be trademark - what's the difference ?

The poimnt is: if you want to always have ability to backport fixes - then this gig is already lost clause. And if you'll think about it then you'll need to piss Mozilla developers quite severely to made them forbit porting bugfixes.
