00:05 < glandium> jcranmer: the first thing we should do, though, is to move 
                  out everything that's common to b2g, browser, mail and mobile 
                  to a toolkit package manifest
00:05 < glandium> manifests are preprocessed, they could all include the same 
                  common file

I've attached a file that is the result of
/src/trunk/comm-central $ find -name package-manifest.in | xargs cat | grep '^[^#;[]' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

There are 6 package-manifest.in files here (im, mail, suite, browser, android, b2g). One line is apparently repeated twice in one file (WTF?), and 284 are in all 6 files. I think the proper cutoff is about 3, to account for manifests that don't include all the proper entries for various reasons (e.g., no need to have a Windows-only #ifdef in an android package manifest).
