GNU IceCat 2.0.0.10-g1 and use with the alternate profile option

In the earlier GNU iceweasel-2.0.0.6-g2 version(before name change to icecat), the tarball included iceweasel, iceweasel-bin, and run-iceweasel.sh files. In the icecat-2.0.0.10-g1 tarball, there is only icecat-bin and run-icecat.sh
files (missing "icecat" script file) .
Running run-icecat.sh script directly will run icecat but does not allow a way to run icecat with an alternate profile. Copying the "iceweasel" script from the
2.0.0.6-g2 release and changing all instances of "iceweasel" to "icecat" allows running alternate profiles. e.g.
icecat -no-remote -P alternate_profile_name
Is the omission of the icecat script (counterpart to earlier
iceweasel-2.0.0.6-g2 "iceweasel" file script) deliberate and if so, is there a way to run alternate profiles using just what comes in the 2.0.0.10-g1 tarball( "icecat-bin" & "run-icecat.sh")?
