Hello,
mozilla is rather complex thing to package for Debian, take a look at
<http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mozilla/mozilla_1.7.12-1.1.diff.gz>.

Seamonkey packaging should be simpler because mozilla-dev (and probably
all other -dev packages) should be dropped, as other packages will use
xulrunner. - However it is probably still beyond a quick HOWTO.
cu and- Just reading the bugreport, not involved in packaging mozilla
in any way -reas
