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…)
