To be fair, when it happened, Debian rebranding Firefox as Iceweasel was an unhappy decision at the end of an acrimonious discussion. It's only with the passage of time (and by comparison to Canonical's obfuscation) that it looks like a clear and appropriate resolution to a trademark issue.

That's also true. Things weren't always like that when it comes to large organizations involved in FOSS development, but one would hope lessons are learned :-)
