By taking a look at how Mike had done it for mozilla.d.n, python2.7,
python-defaults, python-support all need to be backported.
Oh and since one of the minor versions of 31.5, a patch is needed to
workaround a gcc bug.

We have a separate repository where we have the backported python
stuff, and where we build iceweasel. Once built it is copied to our
main repository that is used along with squeeze.We did something
similar to use libav instead of ffmpeg.
