Well, I've checked and mozilla is managed via alternatives to be iceweasel:

$ ls -l $(which mozilla)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2007-11-06 00:02 /usr/bin/mozilla ->
/etc/alternatives/mozilla
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/mozilla
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2008-07-19 13:19 /etc/alternatives/mozilla
-> /usr/bin/iceweasel

So it's working: or is it only on my system?

Sure, I verified this too: if you double left-click the app, it open a
new tab in iceweasel, if you right-click it will open a tab for
google.com and if you paste with middle-click that text is passed to
iceweasel to be opened as URL.

Of course it's not a critical package, but it didn't take too long to do it.

Thanks,
Sandro
