Iceweasel, I had to do:

$ sudo aptitude install iceweasel-l10n-en-gb

Haven't tried most of those (except I added the GB myspell

What are the best debian web resources?  So far, I'm just googling
randomly but it's a bit hit and miss - especially for less common

Ubuntu's forums or ubuntuguide.org?
