But that's not using the brand. The browser will be called Iceweasel,
will use the Debian artwork, and everything else. It'll just use
'Firefox' in a semi-internal string sent to web servers.
If the name 'Firefox' must not be used anywhere, than lots more things
need to change: such as storing user data in ~/.mozilla/iceweasel and
not /firefox, or chaning the name of the variable that holds
Icewease/2.0.0.14 (or whatever) to general.useragent.extra.iceweasel and
not general.useragent.extra.firefox as it is now.
