I think the upcoming stable (now "squeeze") will include Iceape.
As for people who is now on lenny and wanting to use Iceape, if running a
32-bits system I would try with the upstream version:
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
Most of the Mozilla products (like Firefox and Thunderbird) do not even
require an installation, just download and run.
For 64-bits users, I was adviced here that Mozilla uses to provide 64-
bits packages for their "nightly builds" (just note that these packages
are tagged as "beta/testing", not "final/stable" products so there can
be problems with them).
