So we must fix debian-edu-config to deal with the rename of iceweasel to firefox in Jessie… (FWIW, I don't think this is a release blocker for Debian either. As we can see in this very bug report, Jessie is used already, we have a clear workaround and Chrome/Chromium has the highest market share anyway. That said, of course we should fix this ASAP.) Patches to achieve this much welcome (though these should be first tested in sid/stretch via the git master branch and then propagated to jessie…) -- cheers, Holger
