If they'd do their job right they'd look for the gecko engine and it's
version and not on the name of the browser.

Compare those lines and tell me where the problem is that they're not
able to recognize the operating system right, just because it's called
Iceweasel.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070723
Iceweasel/2.0.0.6 (Debian-2.0.0.6-1)

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914
Firefox/2.0.0.7


I still can't see any fault of Debian here.
