What I would like (and think they should have done in the case of
Iceweasel) is issue a security update that is simply a message to the
admin that stable's version of Iceweasel is now unsupported. The
security update should not automatically upgrade Iceweasel to the
backports version, but it should suggest this to the admin as a wise
course of action.

And this has happened in the past (for Etch as far as I recall, but you
can search the archives). AFAICT iceweasel in lenny is still supported.
