What about just making /usr/lib/mozilla the real directory, then before
the actuall install part make a symlink ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla
/usr/lib/mozilla-$VERSION or whatever?

That wayt if the version is updated, it will just make a new syymlink and
the software will still go into the /usr/lib/mozilla. No funky file
movements required.
