The files generated by update-iceape-chrome are actually generated by
iceape itself. Changing the path is not an easy thing to do there.
That's why we put symlinks in the first place.

The files generated by update-iceape-chrome can be safely removed. They
are actually removed by update-iceape-chrome itself before regenerating
them with iceape.
