Eric mailed a bunch of us about this on 21 November; you were CCed on
all three @packages.debian.org addresses. Message-ID:

Ubuntu still uses firefox, not iceweasel (let's not get into the
politics again!); I suppose this might be the case of other derivative
distributions too. It would save us a fair bit of effort and divergence
if packages could carry on providing both, and this is why I did that in
mozilla-nukeimage.
