Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  firefox-greasemonkey: Depends: firefox (< 2.1) but 3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

4)
I expected greasemonkey to be installed in firefox-2 since it's not possible to install it in firefox 3.

5)
It didn't work. It's not targeting the correct package. Manual install also fails.

Additionally, launchpad will not accept 'firefox-greasemonkey' as a
package name, which is kind of annoying since it's a package out of your
own repo...
