A cast of thousands? :-) Maybe *two*. The objector from Mozilla, and Mike Hommey the Debian Mozilla maintainer/superman. Many, many thanks to him. Iceweasel is superior to Firefox because:- ;we can modify it without breaching Mozilla copyrights ;we can run less than the latest version of Mozilla code without missing out on security updates ;because it's maintained by a superman :-D NOTE: last time I checked you could get a .deb package of Swiftfox - an "optimised" build of Firefox.
