Bug#755353: iceweasel: 404 page at release notes - iceweasel

[treaki]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 30.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

it seams that there is a problem with the release notes of iceweasel. 
By default the about:config setting "app.releaseNotesURL" is set to
"http://mozilla.debian.net/%LOCALE%/%APP%/%VERSION%/releasenotes/"
which seams to be very outdated because the latest version is 3.6
which is kind of old if you respect that the latest version is 31.something...
cause of that error the user gets a page not found content if he tried to
view the release notes. There are to possibilities i see:

- to give up the debian dedicated release notes and link to them of mozilla 
   (IMHO not a good idea)
- to catch up with the release debian mozilla release note pages
   (IMHO a good idea)

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
                                                                 

   * What led up to the situation?
	1. open iceweasel and visit "about:"
	2. click to the "release notes"
	3. enjoy the 404 page ;)
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	ive browsed back a little in the url from
	 "http://mozilla.debian.net/en-US/iceweasel/30.0/releasenotes/"
	to
	 "http://mozilla.debian.net/en-US/iceweasel/"
   * What was the outcome of this action?
	i found out that the latest avaivable release notes are from
	the very old version 3.6
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	i expected at least to find release notes about version
	"24.6.0esr-1~deb7u1" which is the latest version of the current debian
	stable (wheezy)

   * What was your overall experience?
     i was very disappointed about the missing release notes. IMHO release 
     notes are a very impotent thing. I want to know exactly what features
     are included the software i am using...

have a nice day and keep up the good work all together,

greetings 

treaki

PS: yes i have looked true the topics of all the previews thousands, 
    i mean 523, bug reports and have found #649170 but i decided to create
    a new one because that is very old and not at all relayed to the latest
    version...
