All extension files belong in the extension subdirectory (for icedove/iceweasel). What you place in /usr/lib hierarchy and what in /usr/share then lies completely in the hand of extension package maintainer and the question whether icedove will relink its pref dir should not be relvant imo. As extensions directory will stay in/usr/lib/.../extensions ... this all is a non-issue now that iceape is fixed, isn't it? OTOH, iceape does not yet use the new extension manager and in consequence might need to place files in $MOZ_HOME/defaults/pref/ or $MOZ_HOME/chrome/. But this has already been done, so all is fine. Ahh, please take a look at: /usr/lib/[icedove|thunderbird]/defaults/pref/imagezoom-defaults.js and /usr/lib/[iceweasel|firefox]/defaults/pref/imagezoom-defaults.js those should not be needed in your package afaics.
