only the keys referencing iceweasel were removed from debian-edu-artwork.

though this appears to be a bug in gconf2...

gconf2 needs to be installed for update-gconf-defaults from postinst/postrm to
get triggered.

i can reproduce this behavior in a clean sid chroot by first installing gconf2,
installing debian-edu-artwork 0.0.28, and then upgrading to 0.0.30-2.

the same process in a clean lenny chroot actually works fine, so i'm thinking
this is a bug in recent versions of gconf2.

live well,
