gNS3 is based on the oldstable Debian 6 (Squeeze) while IceCat 17
have dependencies related to the current stable Debian 7 (Wheezy)...

But I think this is probably "dangerous" and could mess your system: Debian 7
has a lot of differencies with Debian 6... Maybe gNS developers could
better evaluate the risks...
