Icedove 45 went pretty well[1] so this looks doable. I'll put out packages
for testing as soon as we have a non beta in sid - Christoph and Carsten
(cc:ed) are looking into this).
We have firefox 45 in testing already so this will be next in case Mike
doesn't want to do it himself (see other mail).
