Xulrunner is just an engine, and two of them (different versions) can
coexist with no problem (at least in all systems I've tried, x86-64,
x86-32 and mipsel).  Iceweasel 6.0 will use xulrunner 6.0, while
icedtea will use 1.9...

I'm not sure if this is expected to be like this, or if it was enabled
in purpose to support iceweasel 4 and then 5 and 6...

Please notice these combinations require experimental besides
unstable, :-)  And to make the dependency handling easier, I just use
aptitude in ncurses mode, since safe or full upgrades will mislead...

Thanks,
