Personally, I see this as the death of debian as a desktop distribution. Ubuntu 6.10 (which includes the non-free logo for the first time) suggests Ubuntu won't be following Debian footsteps in the renaming, thankfully.

It may not be as simple as you say for Ubuntu to keep calling it Firefox or for any distro for that manner. There are two main issues: - license on artwork - patches to firefox The license on artwork won't be an issue for Ubuntu probably as they tolerate more licenses. The patches to firefox is an issue though. Mozilla have said you cannot alter firefox with your own patches and call it firefox. This one is a biggy. For example Debian (or another distro) can't backport security fixes to firefox versions that Mozilla no longer support. Debian has not been a general purpose desktop (where I mean you install for your friend, parents etc) for most people for a while now. Ubuntu is that. People use debian for a variety fo reasons and will continue to do so I think.
