Removal bugs are not release-critical, and not 'serious'. Please don't
severity-ping-pong -- both myself as member of the FTP-master team as
Adam Barratt who's for quite a while helpfully triaging bugs on
'ftp.debian.org' have set it to normal before.

My comment is still current, nothing changed: seamonkey didn't enter
Debian yet, so there's still no migration path. I fail to see how 'not
much evolution' actually changes this situation. Feel invited to work on
seamonkey's packaging though to ensure something is changing.

Adam had it the correct way. I see no reason to remove locale packages
when the package they provide locales for is still there, and on the
other hand, the existance of locale packages will not hold up the
removal, as it's obviously coupled. I'm not enough aware of the
differences mozilla vs seamonkey, but perhaps those locale packages
'just' need an update to work for seamonkey instead of mozilla, instead
of being removed? Anyway, not relevant yet as long as mozilla is still
here.
