Bug Description
We need to update to 2.0 or drop from Lucid archive as 1.1.x is no longer supported.
-------
Binary package hint: seamonkey
Hello, there is new Seamonkey 2.0 fresh and available ;)
We need it inside Ubuntu repositories and I post this bug as a reminder for that.
I am not sure weither there will be continuation of Seamonkey 1.1.xx line so that those will be security patched for some time
and that 2.0 line is separate version and that it is direct upgrade from previous line.
In light of that is a way of making Seamonkey available, eather as seamonkey2 or seamonkey-2 package or
as direct replacement for present seamonkey.
If it is direct replacement, then it should be upgraded all way down to LTS to 2.0 and if it is separate seamonkey,
we would just need 2.0 Seamonkey in next Ubuntu release ;) I think that it is a second option and that older SM could be patched and updated separately for older releases.
My 2 cents.., what do you think? ;)

I agree whole heartedly! The official 2.0 release was 10-27-09. From what I've read, SeaMonkey 1.1xx will receive bug fixes for a time and then languish into obscurity.
In any event, the most current is 2.0 and I believe it should be included in Ubuntu ASAP. Hopefully I'll be able to get it via Karmic backports.
