 Debian Wheezy is about to get unsupported and we should move to Debian
 Jessie for our Linux builds. This has the additional advantage that we
 don't have different Debian versions anymore to build bundles for all of
 our supported platforms: We are then using Debian Jessie everywhere.

 The only worrying situation is the CentOS one. We should think about
 whether we still can and want support CentOS 6 (which we need to do anyway
 while switching to Firefox ESR 60 which requires GTK3) and what the CentOS
 7 situation is if we start building using Jessie.
