OK, lets talk about icdove transition. With some help of Mike, I've
prepared the icedove-dev package for icedove 3.0. So it's time to move
icedove from experimental to sid, to be able to release it with squeeze.
We/I'll upload it to unstable until Groupwaremeeting[1] on 17th of
April.

On the other hand, we have experimental free for versions of icedove
3.1, which will hopefully released at 1st of June. Guido and I discuss
yesterday the fact, to get a beta/RC version of 3.1 in squeeze. If Mozilla
be in time with its release plan, this would be a additional option.
Also in the face of EOL of 3.0 before ending of security support for
squeeze.

I've CC'ed the maintainer/uploader of enigmail and traybiff, because
icedove 3.0 could break their packages.
