 Today, we are without a way to install enigmail in iceape x86_64. In  
 i386, is possible to use the xpi in enigmail page.

 Hard to resurrect as it is atm. If you want to help on getting
 enigmail back for seamonkey/iceape, please ping me in
 #ubuntu-mozillateam on freenode.

If I understand Claudio correctly, the bug affects all architectures but
there exists a workaround for i386 only, which is to use upstream's XPI
package instead of the Debian package. Is that correct?

Alexander, what is the problem? I'm a DD, perhaps I can help?

iceape has a rotten old extension mechanism. Building enigmail for
that isnt trivial. You can try to resurrect, but i am not sure if its
worth it given that we currently consider to remove iceape from lenny
(lack of manpower to provide security support).
