    There it says "We don't have the resources to backport security 
fixes to the Iceweasel release in oldstable-security any longer.", but 
my question is: is it possible to have Iceweasel 17 in oldstable?
    Currently we are running Iceweasel 10 from BPO in oldstable without 
problems, don't know if 17 would work without too much trouble or will 
be too much work to make it run in oldstable.
    I mean, having the exact same Iceweasel that the security team 
maintains in Wheezy but rebuilt in Squeeze; not backporting fixes to v10 
but having v17 instead.
    Thanks a lot for all your consideration and answers so far, really 
appreciated!!!
