FWIW, those are a consequence of removing supposedly non-free icons from
the source package. But maybe you'd prefer no icons at all for the list
of search engines.

BTW, that's something that would need to be resolved once and for all by
an SPI lawyer, because a) Mozilla's lawyers consider those icons kocher
as MPL-licensed icons and b) that's a problem broader than just
iceweasel, as it concerns any package with references to external
services (and a recurring question on debian-legal).
