not? It does work with it. and in this case the difference is either a
32Mb or a 45Mb source package.
So in an "official" package it should be .tar.gz?

So the .dsc should contain the diff and what about the diff? should it
be applied already in to the source folder? (mine is, that's why
there's no diff)

For now I am working with an "original" seamonkey tarball.
I guess that'll change in an official version, but this way the whole
shebang is a bit more portable.
The 64-bit version is build on a machine somewhere else. This way I
can use wget to get a seamonkey source there, and only need to copy
the diff from my own machine.
