[Bug 199789] [NEW] Package IceWeasel not in ubuntu repositories

[prani_bobby]

Public bug reported:

Most of you might be aware of the copyright issues which Mozilla had
with Debian. This made the debian team to repackage Firefox removing all
the copyrighted material in Firefox as IceWeasel.

I believe the Ubuntu philosophy and the Debian "Social Contract" are
mostly similar. Hence all the issues Debian had with Firefox must be the
same with Ubuntu.

Hence, I think the package Iceweasel must atleast be present in the
ubuntu repositories so that people who want to use it as a matter of
principle can do so. It should not be much work since Debian is
maintaining that package anyway. We can just use their package as we do
for most of the other packages.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
