Hello,
I have not tested them as I running sarge, however I have got a couple
of trivial suggestions.

- Drop the debian/NEWS. - The file will be displayed by
  apt-listchanges before installation and should only be used to
  convey urgent information to the user. The actual contents ("First
  build try of iceape for Debian") are not necessary to read or even
  useful.

- Stop shipping MPL in a separate file in /usr/share/doc/* and append
  its contents to debian/copyright instead. Policy 12.5 is quite clear
  on that the license must be *included* in debian/copyright.

- debian/copyright says:
--------------------
This package was debianized by HJ Heins <hjheins at gmail.com> on
Wed, 23 Aug 2006 18:55:11 +0100.

It was downloaded from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/iceape/releases
--------------------

It probably should say something like this instead:

Iceape is currently maintained by Mike Hommey based on the initial
packaging by HJ Heins <hjheins at gmail.com>.

The source tarball was generated by removing the following items from
seamonkey-<n.nn>.source.tar.gz which was downloaded from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/
[....]

thanks, cu andreas
