Yes. A way out of this would be to switch iceowl over to icedove's orig
tarball which gets at least the xulrunner fixes (both are based on
comm-central) which would only leave the calendaring part out in the
cold. Since I didn't get around to do this for the past four weeks it's
unlikely I'll manage till the release though.
