Fixing library paths in secondary packages is IMHO wrong, it should be
the responsibility of the package directly depending on
mozilla/firefox/whatever to make sure others linking to the library gets
the paths right.

I'd say the way this should be done, is to set up the rpath for
libedataserver (and other libs linking to nspr directly) similar to
epiphany (src/Makefile.am):

epiphany_LDFLAGS = -R$(MOZILLA_HOME)
