Hello list,

here's a small update.

A .diff is now available.
One of the main issues I am still strugling with is how to devide the files:
I tried to separate all, so make a seamonkey-common package that is
always needed, and seamonkey-<appname>  packages that run of the to of
that.
Unfortunatly I ran into some issues:
It is not possible to leave the composer files out of anything,
apparently they are always needed.
For mailnews for sure, but probably also for other parts, the browser
parts are also needed (for html markup e-mail for instance).
At the moment I merged the seamonkey-editor package back into
seamonkey common, but I am not 100% sure I can leave seamonkey-browser
outside of it.
Maybe I have to go back to a base-package called "seamonkey-browser"
that's always needed.

I have been running lintian tests on the packages. So far things look
quite good. But I do get errors on the changelog and readme files that
are not in all the sub packages. In the sub packages they are symlinks
to the common package. Unfortunatly that gives a lintian error. Does
anyone know how to solve this?
I get a warning about image files being in /usr/lib (which is
correct), what can/should I do about this? I can place them in
/usr/share/seamonkey/<images> and symlink in /usr/lib/seamonkey, but
is this needed?
