Hi,

There is a major problem with: http://mozilla.debian.net/

To be able to use the iceweasel release, one needs to install
iceweasel from experimental:

  deb http://http.debian.net/debian experimental main

but experimental packages are never proposed for upgrading,
neither with "apt-get dist-upgrade" nor with aptitude
("Upgradable Packages" section in the UI, or "aptitude upgrade"),
so that they don't receive security updates!

This is not even documented on http://mozilla.debian.net/ .

Please do something about this.
