Package: iceweasel
Version: 35.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist
I think most people browsing the web today should prefer https where
it's available, so default installations of iceweasel should have
https-everywhere included.
It would be great to add:
Recommends: xul-ext-https-everywhere
to the iceweasel package. If this is too strong for some reason,
please at least add it as a Suggests (it's more important than
mozplugger, which is already Suggests).
Regards,

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
