Useless confusing lines for iceweasel in APT preferences

The following lines in /etc/apt/preferences are confusing as:

- they won’t actually block the installation of iceweasel which is still in debian repos
- iceweasel is now removed from our apt repo

+Explanation: Block installation of iceweasel until it has been removed from our APT repo
+Package: iceweasel
+Pin: origin deb.tails.boum.org
+Pin-Priority: -1
