Not quite sure how this would work out: Would Ian still be careing for FF in 
multiverse? 
If not, I doubt that FF would stay in good shape unless someone (or a team) 
would step out and care for it. And this would also mean that we have the 
(almost) same sources in the repository twice: IceWeazel coming from debian 
and FF, which seems unnecessary maintenance load to me.
