The problem is that /usr/share/firefox usually is a directory (at
least in the packages dwww and firefox), while iceweasel contains a
symlink /usr/share/firefox:
$ dpkg --contents iceweasel_2.0.0.1+dfsg-1_i386.deb | grep -i usr/share/firefox
lrwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2006-12-26 07:30 ./usr/share/firefox -> iceweasel
Maybe iceweasel should conflict old/current versions of dwww, if it
changes /usr/share/firefox from a directory to a symlink?
At least this isn't a bug in dwww 1.10.0, because its behavior in etch
is correct since firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-2 is part of etch and this
package contains /usr/share/firefox as a directory, not as a symlink.
Tschoeeee
