Package: iceweasel
Version: 2.0.0.6-0etch1
Severity: normal

Middle clicking on something that's not a link or text widget sends
the content of the clipboard to Google.  This is slightly bad when you
accidently middle click and especially bad when the clipboard content
contains a password you're trying to paste somewhere but you miss the
text widget when pasting.

The workaround is to set the about:config middlemouse.contentLoadURL
to false.

IMO Debian should ship with a middlemouse.contentLoadURL of false and
document the choice in README.Debian.
