Ah, I did that mistake when I was preparing 24.4.0esr-1+tails1 but at
least spotted it and fixed it that time.

Well, shame on me for not noticing a mistake I had done before already.

Right, but it seems we rarely will have the benefit of importing
Iceweasel at release time, when it's most important that nothing goes
wrong, sadly.

There's no hurry for this as far as I'm concerned.

Before uploading the squeeze backport I tested it inside Tails for
around half an hour of real usage (including watching funny cat videos
on youtube :)) and all seemed fine. Now I've also run those two
automated tests on what will become Tails 1.0.1 and they passed.

As for the wheezy backport I've only tested it by installing it in a
running Tails 1.1~beta1 session and tested basic functionality. I now
realize that I didn't import the Tor Browser profile.

Cheers!
