Because: Situation A, we rebrand to Iceweasel: We don't need or want to create a 3rd Iceweasel version (Debian+GNU+gNS) Situation B, we use the one from Debian: We have to backport from Debian Sid or Debian Etch, and maintain (another) fairly complex package from outside the distribution. Situation C, we use GNU/Iceweasel: We not only have to maintain an external package, but we also have to package it. *We* have to maintain it, for security an updates, and *we* have to do all the work if something breaks it. kk -- Karl Goetz User of gNewSense: Free as in Freedom - http://www.gnewsense.org Australian Ubuntu users team - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam User of Debian, The Universal Operating System - http://www.debian.org
