This version number is not intended. The question is: Is it incorrectly
specified version number or a bug in mozilla-devscripts? [1] says, that
* stands for infinity:

    "if the version part is a single asterisk, it is interpreted as an
    infinitely-large number: 1.5.0.* is the same as 1.5.0.(infinity)"

Does reloadevery supports iceweasel 24 or not? How should
mozilla-devscripts behave?
