Iceweasel is in Applications / Network / Web Browsing

It seems Science packages are generally structured in 3 layers too - e.g 
gelemental.

True. a hierarchical menu structure is beneficial when multiple 
applications in each category is installed.  I do feel, though, that 
multiple audio applications being installed concurrently is quite 
common, and that the improvements for such cases outweigh the annoyance 
of a too steep menu when only a few apps are installed.


Nice try :-)
