Is Ubuntu going to adapt Ice Weasel?

Regarding the Firefox issue, Debian already changed the name to Ice 
Weasel, since their request to postpone it after the etch release was 
rejected.
But what is Ubuntu going to do for edgy? Basically the objections 
mozilla has also apply to Ubuntu since it uses the same ff version which 
mozilla  did not want to be in etch.
Debian could do the switch in about one week, so it could be possible to 
switch for edgy without deferring the release.

But this depends on whether you want to switch at all or if a patch 
review by mozilla would be ok for ubuntu.

I, for one, would vote for switching but Id like to hear the official 
position.
