Well, not really.  I was asking for testing/unstable.  If you
look at

  http://mozilla.debian.net/dists/wheezy/

there is only 3.6 and there is nothing for sid at all.  So having the
latest Firefox backported somehow is nice, hiding it at some other place
than backports.debian.org is questionable but there might be reasons for
this I can not see.  But I wonder in how far this leads to the
assumption that we will soonish see a recent firefox in the development
tree?

I only get:

$ LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
  Installed: 3.5.19-2
  Candidate: 3.5.19-2
  Version table:
     4.0.1-4 0
          5 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main amd64 Packages
     3.6.18-1 0
        500 http://mozilla.debian.net/ wheezy/iceweasel-3.6 amd64 Packages
 *** 3.5.19-2 0
        501 http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
         50 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Kind regards

       Andreas.
