As far as I remember in the past new Firefox/Iceweasel releases did
not always build on all architectures Debian released with and/or
required a newer gtk release. That makes it impossible to integrate
such a package into the next point release, and that is where the
packages from squeeze-updates should end up.

So a backports repository is a much better place to keep them.
