iceweasel_17.0-1_amd64.deb not available via [ http://mozilla.debian.net/ ]:

[Brian Booth]

Good morning (?) Axel,

Many thanks for getting back to me - this is very much appreciated.

Please also forgive my bad sentence construction on the previous
email...(English is my native language too - God help me!!).

I ran a simulated install this morning at ~ 0655 Australian Western
Standard Time (UTC + 8).  The simulation indeed showed that Iceweasel_17.0
is now available.

So, once again - many thanks.  I may go ahead now, and replace the
Firefox_17.0 installation with the Iceweasel_17.0 version, soon.

I'm just a beginner - so please forgive my ignorance:  Am I correct in
noticing that the Iceweasel package contains many more features than the
standard Firefox install?  I do not think that this is bad thing, but; I'm
"burning" with curiosity to know why?

Either way, congratulations to your team for maintaining this package.  I
think that there are many of us here in "userland", who really appreciate
the work you kind folk do.

Cheerio again,
Brian.
