The fact is the problem is with the way the *experimental* packages for language packs implemented dependencies onto iceweasel. It's useless to add conflicts with old *experimental* language packages, when there are so many of them and when they will obviously be fixed when newer versions are uploaded to unstable. People using only unstable won't have any problem, and people upgrading from etch won't have problems either. This is an interim problem, only due to *experimental* packages. I don't want to clutter iceweasel for experimental issues. Now, for the rest of the possible "workarounds" *that* is a wishlist item, since dependencies already should be doing their work to avoid these issues in the first place.
