Is Ubuntu going to adapt Ice Weasel?

As far as I know, market share is measured by javascript and the
UserAgent string.  Will IceWeasel use Firefox's UserAgent string, or
will it have its own?  (Will this need to be changed to comply with
trademark issues?)  If IceWeasel uses the same string, then, to the
non-FLOSS world, it will appear that Firefox's market share is growing
at the same rate, and this would not be an issue.
