(Thanks John for working on seamonkey 2.); yes the seamonkey 2 build
worked fine in your PPA - last time i looked.

I think keeping seamonkey in a ppa is good and appropriate. To make
that more official we might want to consider taking it to our daily
archive until it reaches beta ... from whereon we might also want to
provide milestone builds - either in archive or in some PPA.
