Would you please update iceweasel for Debian/Wheezy on armhf?

The new version has now built on these archs:
iceweasel_31.2.0esr-3~deb7u1_amd64.changes  iceweasel_31.2.0esr-3~deb7u1_i386.changes
iceweasel_31.2.0esr-3~deb7u1_armel.changes  iceweasel_31.2.0esr-3~deb7u1_powerpc.changes
iceweasel_31.2.0esr-3~deb7u1_armhf.changes  iceweasel_31.2.0esr-3~deb7u1_s390x.changes

So this in fact provides a armhf build, but kfreebsd-* still fails (as does s390
and sparc). I've copied the new build logs for kfreebsd-* to 
https://people.debian.org/~jmm/

ia64, mips and mipsel never even made it to ESR24, the current iceweasel
debs are still on ESR17.

While I appreciate portability in Debian, my personal interest in sherherding
fringe archs other than x86 through stable-security is very limited. There
are many further security issues which deserve our attention. So I
think we can should rather provide updated binaries for more archs with the 
31.3 release round.

I fully agree.
