Package: mozilla-firefox-locale-all Severity: wishlist To enable a transition from firefox to iceweasel which maintains the installed localisation, the firefox-locale-foo packages (currently at version 1.5.0.7-4) should become transition packages with the appropriate version numbers (I guess this would be 2.0-3, to match the iceweasel-l10n packages) depending on iceweasel-l10n-foo, as has been done with the mozilla-firefox-locale-foo packages. Currently, attempting to upgrade from firefox (at version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-2) to iceweasel results in the localisation being removed, rather than the iceweasel localisation package being installed.
