This is today.

I have merged feature/torbrowser into testing, so it'll en up in rc2.
However, esr10 is out:

    http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/iceweasel/news/20121026T165314Z.html


So, what should we do? I think it's clear that we need to rebase our
Iceweasel on esr10 for the final release of Tails 0.14. But do we want
it in rc2 too? After all one of the purposes to ship an rc2 was to test
the new Iceweasel. Because of that I'm leaning towards delaying rc2 a
few days if we can have an updated package built and uploaded within
that period.

Cheers!
