Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.3-1
Severity: normal

The renaming of Firefox to Iceweasel breaks third-party add-ons 
installation, as they do not recognize "Iceweasel" as 
Firefox-compatible.

Try to install the Google toolbar for instance, it says "Google Toolbar 
requires Firefox 1.5 or later"...

No, it doesn't break third party add-ons. Try installing some from
addons.mozilla.org, you'll see it works.

Google are stupid and checking the user-agent string to know if the user
is using Firefox. Needless to say people actually using Firefox with the
user-agent switcher or equivalent will see the same message. Yet, it has
nothing to do with add-ons installation broken.
You can still install it from
http://dl.google.com/firefox/google-toolbar-linux.xpi

As for the user agent part, there already are bugs reported for this,
and we won't change it.
