The package description could mention that this is an
early/alpha/experimental release, to avoid deception (and encourage
feed-back)

               ^^^ Is it appropriate to name those keys "RSA"

Wouldn't it be better to state that it's a replacement for X509
certificates? (there is probably an even better wording, but I can't
find it).

The long description should mention that this package contains an
Iceweasel extensions, maybe:
 "This package contains an Iceweasel/Firefox extensions to use
  Monkeysphere for checking of X.509 certificates from https hosts 
  whose keys are in the web of trust."
