Well, that is one of the problems being synchronised towards the Ubuntu repositories (Gnome), including the non-free version of Firefox. Ubuntu/Canonical 'kept the lines of communication wide open' and got an 'arrangement' with the Mozilla Foundation <http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/79>. Ubuntu will continue shipping the standard Mozilla Firefox, while GNU/Linux Debian lost their permission to ship Firefox with a free logo and icon. (Ubuntu is still using the GNU/Linux Debian package...). The Iceweasel name appeared during internal discussions about Mozilla's trademark problems within the Debian Project in 2004 and 2005. Now the GNU people have published their own fork under the same name, so the whole Iceweasel project could become confusing if these two projects are not unified. I know that Debian developers are trying to work out a solution with the GNU organisation <http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3636651> and I hope they will be able to create a common project. I suppose that gNewSense as a free project (even supported by FSF) logically will follow the same direction...
