Strace confirms my suspicion. Iceweasel does only look into the
locale/en-US directory, but not into the locale/de one:
$ strace iceweasel 2>&1 | grep searchplugins
access("/etc/iceweasel/searchplugins", F_OK) = 0
access("/etc/iceweasel/searchplugins/common", F_OK) = 0
access("/etc/iceweasel/searchplugins/locale/en-US", F_OK) = 0
access("/home/greffrath/.mozilla/firefox/0gqg222x.default/searchplugins", F_OK)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/usr/lib/iceweasel/browser/searchplugins", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
access("/home/greffrath/.mozilla/firefox/0gqg222x.default/extensions/[email protected]/searchplugins",
F_OK) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
access("/home/greffrath/.mozilla/firefox/0gqg222x.default/extensions/{b9db16a4-6edc-47ec-a1f4-b86292ed211d}/searchplugins",
F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
