AIUI you no longer even have to do that.  I gather that "# aptitude update" 
and "# aptitude full-upgrade"  (or equivalent) will now do the trick.  I 
gather that you need the "full-" bit ("dist-" I think in apt-get) in order to 
get rid of all of Iceweasel.  

I can't test this, because I went over to Firefox as soon as Debian officially 
recommended doing so.
