This is a risky decision at this time imo - at least if we don't want
to use a new source package name (personally i have nothing against
that). There is no official timeline for the final release and the
past showed that mozillamessaging releases can take ages.

Also building against system xulrunner will not be supported by tbird
3 (unfortunately). Still I think we all hope that we will be able to
ship tbird 3 in next release.

Anyway, I am thinking about making an icedove package available based
on the tbird 3.0 packages we maintain in ubuntu.

It's basically just the rebranding, which should be rather simple.

Volunteers for that rebranding effort welcome. Maybe visit us in
#ubuntu-mozillateam on freenode.
