I am having trouble reinstalling everything I can't see anything wrong with my sources list. I've noticed iceweasel has been held back for a while, is there a problem with the repositories at present? If there isn't, how can I solve this?

I mostly want to reinstall everything to replace all the rc scripts used to lower the likelihood of any rootkits being installed, along with anything that has been messed with.

Thanks, I'm not entirely sure what man page to read to find how to do a preferences.d, I just tried man preferences.d. The list of man pages for section five is huge so I'd appreciate a hint.
I added deb-src because I am a programmer and I occasionally play around with making my own patches though nothing release worthy. I also built my own kernel trading off some throughput for latency with voluntary kernel preemeption and I also raised the interrupt timer to 1000hz, I wish such a kernel was in apt-get.

Are you trying to use FF from experimental repo of mozilla in a purely
debian stable release? That's bound to raise conflicts between its
required libs.
You may add sid and experimental to you source list and create a
preferences file (/etc/apt/preferences.d/firefox). Read the man pages to
learn how to do it.
Also, there is a package named "tiger" which is a collection of scripts
that you can run to look for vulnerabilities on you machine.
Finally, you may comment out (#) deb-src lines if you are not compiling
software yourself.

You might also want to install bash-completion ;)
Kind regards,

I went from Iceweasel experimental to Iceweasel beta, and it was able
to install it using the directions at http://mozilla.debian.net/ for
wheezy.
I must have mistakenly used experimental.
apt_preferences is interesting though, thanks.

Noted, unhide has not noticed anything nor unhide.rb or rkhunter but I
get considerable lag sometimes as if screenshots are being taken of
the desktop. It might just be the latest nvidia drivers but it scares
the willies out of me.
It would be really awesome if the Debian livecd had a script, I've
checked many checksums through it and think I'm safe but if there was
an automated script that told me about changes to anything init ends
up running compared to the repos it would be nice. On OpenBSD I can
install a base system for instance, and see any changes to /etc with
mergemaster and conquer a rootkit pretty quickly, providing the boot
process is secure. Ah, the difference between complex systems and
simple ones... It would be nice if there was something sure to remove
known rootkits. I don't think the "hacker" if there is one is a very
talented one.

Have you seen anomalous output in system logs? Xorg.log.0?
