in ubuntu firefox we strip the depends from the firefox package and ship them
in the -gnome-support package so if you install that you also force the depends.
Not sure if you plan to do that, but the experience is then close to upstream:
1. if on gnome you get gnome support
2. if not on gnome and the libs are missing you dont get gnome support
also you might want to check out our firefox-kde.patch in ubuntu. that one
helps our kde folks a lot. It can probably be adapted for icedove ... even
though its from an older branch than our patch.
