From Debian Stretch (= Devuan Ascii) on there is no more 
Iceweasel, but just Firefox and Firefox-ESR. 

Quote from https://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel:

 | As documented at the article The end of the Iceweasel Age[1], 
 | Firefox is now in Debian again with the official name and 
 | branding.
 | 
 | At Mozilla's request (see 815006), Debian now contains Mozilla 
 | “Firefox ESR” (Extended Support Release) as the firefox-esr 
 | package. Normal Debian support policies, including patches for 
 | bug fixes, apply to the package.
 | 
 | [...]
 | 
 | In Debian Stretch and later, the package iceweasel is a 
 | transitional package which installs the firefox-esr package.
 | As of 9th of June, 2016 the package Firefox-ESR replaces 
 | Iceweasel, and is in Wheezy and Jessie security repositories.

Purportedly discussion is underway to rename Icedove Thunderbird.
