This was broken for a brief period, it should be fixed though. You might
need to reinstall the xpis so that the correct links are created.

That's the plan anyway. I'm working on it. Enigmail and lightning will
stay, perhaps the MOZILLA-xpi ports, but I'm leaning to removing those
too, as they can be installed from addons.mozilla.org just fine. I'm
just busy and haven't put this up for approval/discussion, yet.
