And I'm sorry to inform everyone that "Gerv is not responsible at this 
time for trademark permissions or approvals" (says Mike Connor in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622;msg=59 ) and
Gerv's reasonably fair approach to free software is apparently being 
systematically reversed by the Mozilla Corporation, right at a time 
that maximises disruption to the debian project.  It seems that MozCorp 
wants veto rights over debian package maintenance and release policies, 
else the browser can't be Firefox.

Go IceWeasel!
