Obviously, since this is no big distro (yet!), the number of packages
that needs to be maintained by gNewSense should be kept at a minimum. I
am also for adding IceWeasel, and perhaps gnash, and taking out Firefox.
Ubuntu carries no IceWeasel debs. Does Debian maintain a Free IceWeasel
package? If so, is this something we could copy/steal/hog in some way? ;)
Otherwise, I find the most obvious solution would be to find someone who
is willing to compile, package and maintain a package of the GNU IceWeasel.
It doesn't sound to me like more than a one-man job, unless we need to
do lots of integration, apart from just maintaining it.
(On that note, would a "hack", like adding firefox-bin symlinks pointing
to the iceweasel binary to the package be acceptable? Any other program
which then wants firefox specifically, gets IceWeasel instead. It's not
extremely "nice", but it would probably work well enough).
If it's not a lot of work, I might volunteer to maintain it. But I'll
need to learn a thing or two about creating deb packages, then.
Amazingly, in all the time I've used Debian, I never got around to doing
that. :)

Hi Paul, I will say let's go with iceweasel, add gnash flash plug in

why reinvent the wheel? but that just me.

Hi Chris,
It seems that I was not obvious enough ;-)
how?
(that was the whole point of my mail)
Cheers
