Icedove 45 went pretty well[1] so this looks doable. I'll put out packages for testing as soon as we have a non beta in sid - Christoph and Carsten (cc:ed) are looking into this). We have firefox 45 in testing already so this will be next in case Mike doesn't want to do it himself (see other mail). Cheers, -- Guido [1] https://github.com/agx/icedove/tree/wheezy-lts
