"The developers behind the Debian Linux distribution are preparing for the upcoming release of Debian 5, which is codenamed Lenny. The decision to move forward with the release follows a contentious vote over whether to permit the inclusion of binary blobs in the new version of the distribution. Consensus coalesced around a controversial proposal to "assume blobs comply with the GPL unless proven otherwise."

The real problem is that the Firefox name and icon should only be used for builds from Mozilla's officially released source code, but since the .debs are containing lots of patches Mozilla asked the debian folks to change the name/icon
So Mozilla just tries to protect the image of their product.
