  Description     : Preserves Iceweasel branding for new Firefox packages

Debian distributed a rebranded version of Firefox called Iceweasel. This was
due to legal concerns. In 2016 Debian and Mozilla developers agreed that
Debian can legally package Firefox without violating DFSG. Firefox is
back in
Debian and Iceweasel is now gone! However, some people want to continue
using
Iceweasel, and Iceweasel does have a historical value. So this rebranding
package was created to restore Iceweasel branding for Firefox. Most
files are
just copied from the original Iceweasel package.

This will be a native package. Mozilla Extension Packaging Team may be
relevant. I hope that this will be available when Iceweasel disappears from
stable.
