It doesn't appear that anyone is keeping the SeaMonkey updated:

Ubuntu-Mozilla-Team does not use Launchpad. This page was created on 2007-07-30 when the lightning-sunbird_0.5-0ubuntu1 package was uploaded to gutsy/RELEASE.
Is this a team you run?

It seems the Ubuntu-Mozilla-Team has gone walkabout...

John Vivirito seems to be the only one who was doing any work with SeaMonkey:
https://launchpad.net/~gnomefreak/+archive/ppa
and even that ppa is sorely outdated.

If Ubuntu can't maintain SeaMonkey, then perhaps it should be dropped from the repositories altogether. At least then folks will download and install directly from mozilla.org rather than risk running old security infested versions of SeaMonkey.
