According to buildd.debian.org, the package was built on armhf:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=iceweasel&suite=wheezy

However, it indeed did not show up in the repository:

$ rmadison iceweasel | grep wheezy-security
 iceweasel | 17.0.10esr-1~deb7u1  | wheezy-security   | source, ia64, mips, mipsel
 iceweasel | 24.5.0esr-1~deb7u1   | wheezy-security   | source, sparc
 iceweasel | 24.8.1esr-1~deb7u1   | wheezy-security   | source, armhf, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, s390
 iceweasel | 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1   | wheezy-security   | source, amd64, armel, i386, powerpc, s390x

kfreebsd-* and s390 seem to be in the same situation. ia64, sparc and
mips* are even worse.

Dear FTP masters/buildd maintainers, would you have any idea on what is
going on?
