Upgrading package to SeaMonkey 2 (even in backports) becomes quite urgent because of... Flash!
I don't know for 32-bit, but on 64-bit platforms, Adobe Flash plugin on SeaMonkey 1.1.7 behaves inconsistently. Web pages with embedded flash animations (e.g. adverts) sometimes freeze the browser, sometimes crash it. It's really painful and happens a lot. Firefox 3.5 and SeaMonkey 2.0 seem not (or to a lesser extent) affected by this.
Because of this problem, using 64-bit SeaMonkey 1.1.7 for daily usage (which is the puropse of an internet suite) has become very painful... So upgrade is badly needed.
By the way, SeaMonkey 2.0.1 will be released in the forthcoming days.
