Iceweasel team,
The Mozilla browser could use a better default unofficial branding
package (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659568#c1).
Since you currently maintain a well-known rebranding of the browser that
was undertaken for the sole purpose of avoiding the trademark
restrictions, I think it would be fitting if you would work with Mozilla
to get a high-quality default unofficial branding package upstream,
which could then be the basis for Debian's package. In light of the
history of your project, I presume you would not object to Mozilla using
the Iceweasel name, but if they consider it too derogatory, there are
other options such as "Mozilla Browser" or "Gecko Browser". Thoughts?
I realize this is an unfunded proposal for work; I just wanted to
encourage people to consider whether this is something they might like
to have. I currently use my own unofficial build of the browser on
Fedora and intend to make it available to the public, so I have an
interest in better branding and may be able to help.
Thanks for your consideration.
