I so far tended to "iceweasel (>= 3.5)" as with the firefox dependency
for Ubuntu as it should work with with iceweasel >= 3.5.
But then again since all iceweasel packages below 30 depend on
xulrunner-$version anyway, you may be right. Will think about it.

I'm in two minds with this.
On the one hand, as long as it still works technically, it should be
in the list of dependencies. Basically I want the arch:all package to
be installable without changes on as many derivates (hence the firefox
dependency for Ubuntu) and older releases as possible.
Then again, quite some of the dependencies are no more available in
either Debian or Ubuntu (not sure about further derivatives), also
because of the current policy of only offering ESR releases in Stable
and Ubuntu following upstream quite closely anyways.
But I think the effort to check which dependencies could be dropped
under these conditions is not really worth it. (And I don't mind
maintaining that one Debian package with likely the biggest
alternative dependencies chain. ;-)
Then again, conkeror's dependencies may keep the xulrunne-* packages
on a system at dist-upgrade time. Hrm.
(Not being sure how to fix this the best way is the main reason why
this hasn't been fixed yet.)
Currently working on this, but I'm not yet fully satisfied with the
result yet, hence the stuff is not yet pushed.
Regards, Axel
