I'm not sure how that would be the case - surely Mozilla's objection is
to people using the trademarks on modified distributions, they're fine
with people using the marks on unmodified 'official' copies. That being
the case the usual approach of an original source tarball and a Debian
patch would be acceptable since the artwork would only be being
distributed in the original, official, unmodified Mozilla source.

Not that I agree with the OP that patching the source first is a
problem, but it does seem unnecessary.
