Mozilla doesn't let people distribute modified copies of "Firefox" either. That's why Iceweasel was invented.

Mozilla just agreed on exception for Debian only.

No, it can't be a Debian-specific exception or it would violate #8 of the Debian Free Software Guidelines:

Not at all - you can extract debian-firefox from debian and use it elsewhere, calling it firefox. The exception wasn't "must be in debian system" as per #8, but "debian has a proven track record of keeping FF as a quality release, so we'll allow their modifications to bear the name".
