Bug#854815: Patch for bug #854815 (firefox: transition old userapp .desktop file)

control: severity -1 important

Reassigning to the version I actually use.  Raising severity, but that's
the maintainer's decision.  This should be fixed for all released
firefox packages.

Attached is a patch that removes (backups) iceweasel desktop files in
$HOME, and references the system wide firefox[-esr].desktop file in
mimeapps.list.  If iceweasel was previously set as the default
application, it will be changed to either firefox or firefox-esr now,
depending on which package is installed and does the migration.  That
sounds good to me, but I'm not really familiar with the 2 flavors of
firefox in debian.

This patch does not exactly what I previously suggested, please find the
rationale in the patch comments.

Please note that I only tested a static version of this patch, but not
the @browser@ substitution in firefox.in.

If you find any errors/issues with this patch, please tell me, since a
similar version will also be used for thunderbird.
