It is quite easy. I am not sure why you could not reproduce it but in my 
case I have installed, or rather had to install iceape through 
apt-get'ing mozilla-browser 1.8+1.0.7-2 (which deinstalled mozilla) 
because the package mozilla of the same version refused to with the same 
description as Gullevek got.

This is caused by mozilla 1.8+1.0.7-2 depending on iceape while iceape 
1.0.7-2 collides with mozilla. iceape should instead only collide with 
mozilla <1.8.
Of course, this should be best fixed in SeaMonkey 1.1 that has been 
released already. :-)
