Looking at the possibilities, upgrading iceweasel would remove at least one package, either iceweasel-dbg (which you seem to have installed manually) or libxul0d-dbg (which is recommended by gnome-dbg, even though it is not available in sid anymore). That is because iceweasel-dbg depends on xulrunner-1.9-dbg which conflicts against libxul0d-dbg. I ran into a similar (if simpler) situation recently, when aptitude safe-upgrade did not upgrade gpm, because that would have removed libgmpg1 which was recommended by libncurses5. This does not seem a bug to me, at least not in aptitude (the packages with the outdated Recommends need to be fixed, of course).
