Working for me on lucid 32bit & 64bit as of this morning. I'll try on karmic & hardy later.

1. Maintained mozilla prefbar display
[http://prefbar.mozdev.org/]
2. Respects startup options such as '-no-remote -mail -browser'
3. Bookmarks are available from existing profile.
4. Passwords are available from existing profile.
5. Java, flash, and other existing profile settings working.

One issue that I found somewhat confusing; to install via Synaptic I used 'seamonkey'. However, to uninstall if 'seamonkey' is selected you need to uninstall each individual package (mailnews, etc). I did find that if I select 'seamonkey-browser' for uninstall it then selects all the appropriate bits (seamonkey, seamonkey-chatzilla, seamonkey-mailnews, seamonkey-browser). For consistency, one should be able to uninstall the same way that they installed. And from the cli:

$ sudo apt-get install -s seamonkey

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  seamonkey-browser seamonkey-chatzilla seamonkey-mailnews
Suggested packages:
  libkrb53 seamonkey-dom-inspector
The following NEW packages will be installed:
