After some further experimentation, it looks like the "iceweasel"
packages from mozilla.debian.net currently depend on some packages from
Unstable. I added Unstable to my sources.list, did an "apt-get update",
and now Iceweasel installs happily.

I guess this is only a temporary, transient thing since most of the time
Testing should have the same packages as Unstable, but it might be worth
mentioning this on the page somewhere. Thanks!
