debian - Where can I find Iceweasel in Debian?

Question

I have recently installed Debian 10 in a Virtual Machine and wanted to install Iceweasel. At class, we were told to use $apt-cache for searching our language and then proceed with $sudo apt-get install iceweasel-l10n-es-es

However, I can't find Iceweasel through the menu nor typing $iceweasel in the terminal. I know that Iceweasel is a fork of Firefox and indeed I can see Firefox in the menu but I was sure that Iceweasel is a completely diffrent program.

Why can't I execute Iceweasel? Is there anything else I should do to complete the installation successfully?

Thanks.

P.S.: Please explain everything that I should know since I'm a debian newbie :)

从Iceweasel Debian Wiki页面，您将获得更多信息，解释为什么在 Debian 10 Iceweasel 被 Firefox 取代，从而在 Debian 中重新引入 Firefox。

为了保证从 Iceweasel 到 Firewall 的迁移对用户来说是透明的，我们实施了一个过渡包。

这意味着 Iceweasel 将不再真正安装 Iceweasel 本身，而是安装 Firefox 的软件包。

假设 Iceweasel 软件包在您的系统上安装成功，您应该在菜单和终端上找到 Firefox。

过渡包可以安全地删除，因为一旦它们安装了新包（你的情况下是 Firefox），它们将不再有任何用途。

这是一个输出示例，apt-cache show您可以在其中找到包信息和详细信息（请注意，版本可能与您的不同）：
