If I remember right, it was a consensus that the policy of enforcement of Mozilla policy applies only to builds for Linux built by Mozilla itself, and distros were free to not to enforce Mozilla policy. It may make sense to rename the package back into iceweasel and not to be bound by Mozilla harmful policy. The usage of the name "Firefox" is less valuable than the ability to customize the browser as we wish. It is absolutely humilating that there is a need to get Mozilla approval in order to do on our computers what we want and need to do.
