Mike can you rephrase why you are so firmly against a -dev package? Why
can't you live with seamonkey providing a -dev package? Is it really
such a PITA?

For me it looks rather ugly for people that want to develop native
components for seamonkey to install thunderbird-dev and vv.

And as soon as we come to things like native components for composer
and other components not included in thunderbird what would be the
option then?

not yet :(

asac at hanson:~/mozillas/seamonkey$ dpkg-source -x seamonkey_1.1a-3.dsc
dpkg-source: warning: extracting unsigned source package
(./seamonkey_1.1a-3.dsc)
dpkg-source: failure: cannot read ./seamonkey_1.1a-3.tar.gz: No such
file or directory

... please take care that the .orig.tar.gz is next to your
seamonkey-1.1a tree when building the package ... then there should be
no problem to produce it properly.
