Yeah, new iceape packages based on XULRunner are in the works[1].
Using Debian's xulrunner package instead of the shipped version makes
maintaining a lot easier for security updates -- and the necessarity
for proper security updates was one of the reasons why it was removed
from Lenny.

As soon as those packages are 10 days old and have no release-critical
bugs, they should automatically propagate to the current testing aka
Squeeze.

Hope this answers your question.
