There's always the version skew problem... we'll just have to
be aware of that.  For example, the newly added cairo library
matches a 1.0 level, but by now the upstream documentation refers
to a considerably higher version, so we'll need to make sure the
links are to a stable copy of the docs that match what's in LSB.
Do you know if the NSS docs have "moved on" in this sense?
