Thanks for the work on the Hardy update.

As discussed on IRC. The debdiff for hardy is nearly 632,000 lines long. The vast majority of this is from nss-fips, which is apparently new. From what I can tell, this code is now being used based on changes in 80_security_build.patch. Apparently this is to fix upstream https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419030. Are the > 600,000 lines of newly compiled code really needed for this update? What testing has been done to show there are no regressions, especially in regards to the NSS related functionality?
