Well, there were three packages that needed to be at the backports version:
your libnss3-1d (transitional package) was at the stable version rather
than the backports version
your libpixman-1-dev was at the stable version rather than the backports
version
your libcairo2-dev was at the stable version rather than the backports
version
so, not too difficult for a developer such as yourself with a degree in
computer science to figure out.
It might have been good for you to have shared the three things you had
to do in the interest of making it easier to figure out for anyone else
who encountered a similar issue.
I'm not sure how your libnss3-1d got out of sync with libnss3, mine are
both at the backports version. I'd guess that it was an existing
condition before you tried to do the Icedove upgrade.
You, and the rest of us, in general probably wouldn't want backports to
upgrade things (for example, those dev packages) without giving us a
chance to examine the changes first and review the conflicts and
dependencies.
