It was not missing but was being reported as missing.  Anyway I did
remove and purge:

xulrunner-10.0
iceweasel

And xulrunner-dev

Then reinstalled iceweasel which pulled in xulrunner-10.0.

And now:

  iceweasel
  XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so:
  libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  Couldn't load XPCOM.

And still:

ls -l /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libx*
root root    15048 Jun 29 09:52 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxpcom.so
root root 20280312 Jun 29 09:52 /usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0/libxul.so

So not an ounce of progress... I guess.
