See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project
and
https://launchpad.net/iceape
These are only two of the many results, from searching for the terms
"iceape" and "suite".
I believe that the information shows that iceape was created and
released as Debian software, in about 2007, with the Debian version
named "etch", with iceape being a derivative of Seamonkey, and that
iceape was created for the Debian Project, due to licensing and
trademark issues.
