Both the iceweasel and iceweasel-dbg packages are installed in my Etch

as "containing the debugging symbols for iceweasel." What are
"debugging symbols"?

If you are just a user, you do not need the package containing debugging
symbols. If iceweasel is crashing and you want to report the bug then you
most likely need the package containing debugging symbols. Debugging
symbols are often necessary to debug a code inorder to find the possible
location of a crash etc., The debugging symbols can provide tracebacks as
to where a program performed illegal operations.
For more info see manuals of gcc (look for -g option), gdb, ddd etc.,
