Hi all,
 I have been wondering when iceweasel 5.0 would be hitting the
debian-experimental ?

It was supposed to hit 'sometime soon' last weekish . Saw Mike's blog
post on the planet few days back as well as Steve Kemp's blog post
couple of days back as well.

http://blog.steve.org.uk/so_you_want_to_install_the_most_recent_firefox_.html

I do see that the package is being held in 'NEW'

http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/iceweasel_5.0-1.html

but with no idea why its being held in the 'NEW' queue for last 5 days.

While checking the list I do see some failure as told by debian-ftp-masters :-

hence apt-show-versions -a only shows iceweasel~b3 as the most recent
build that I have.

$ apt-show-versions -a iceweasel
iceweasel 5.0~b3-1 install ok installed
iceweasel 3.5.16-5 stable       ftp.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.16-6 stable       http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-2 testing      http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-2 testing      ftp.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-2 sid          http.us.debian.org
iceweasel 3.5.19-2 sid          ftp.us.debian.org
iceweasel 4.0.1-4  experimental ftp.us.debian.org
iceweasel 5.0~b3-1 experimental mozilla.debian.net
iceweasel/experimental uptodate 5.0~b3-1

As can be seen even mozilla.debian.net seems to have b3 (version 5
beta 3) as the latest one.

This is from /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-4.0
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-5.0

Has there been any thought about which version would be for Wheezy
4.0, 5.0, 6.0 or what ?

Lastly, there was some noise (discussion) on changing the name from
iceweasel to firefox sometime back. Anybody have any idea what's
happening on that front ?

Thank you for your patience.
