It seems iceweasal-uxp-dev depends on iceweasel-uxp, which is not
available in the Beowulf package repository:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
iceweasel-uxp-dev : Depends: iceweasel-uxp (= 2.9-1~3.0gnuinos1) but
it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I find now

$ aptitude search iceweasel-uxp
BB  iceweasel-uxp-dev               - Safe and easy...


No idea what the BB status means. I try to install this from the
package archive


# aptitude install -f iceweasel-uxp-dev
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
iceweasel-uxp-dev{b}
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
iceweasel-uxp-dev : Depends: iceweasel-uxp (= 2.9-1~3.0gnuinos1)
which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available
package

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
     Remove the following packages:
1)     iceweasel-uxp-dev [2.9-1~3.0gnuinos1 (now)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
Removing iceweasel-uxp-dev (2.9-1~3.0gnuinos1) ...
Current status: 0 (-1) broken, 132 (-1) new.


Now the BB iceweasel-uxp-dev is no longer in my package cache.
