I'm no expert, but "eol" leads me to think it's based on SM 1. Plus Gecko looks very old (20070505 means 2007-may-5 I guess).
My SM 2.0.10 shows:

Are you using Debian stable?


Yes.

My original post in the thread, included that I am runing Debian 5, which is Debian "stable", or, Debian "lenny".

In the circumstances, what is the possibility of Seamonkey being offered as
a
.deb package?

I think SM-project ships no package (neither rpm nor deb). You should ask in a Debian forum, if no one can answer here.



Debian eliminated Seamonkey and Iceape from Debian 5, so I have to run the version of Iceape that is for Debian 4, or, Debian "oldstable", or, Debian "etch", as Seamonkey is not available as a .deb package.

That the version of Iceape that is being run, is from Debian 4, is shown in the package description above, where it shows that it is for "etch".

If Seamonkey is available as a .deb package, then I would install and run that, but it is not, so I can not.

From what I understand, Debian has a policy of not making Seamonkey
available as a Debian package, preventing or obstructing Debian users from running it.

I prefer to use the version number of the operating system, rather than the pretentious names. "stable" is not necessarily. It is like referring to a member of parliament, as "the honourable". Here, the terms "member of parliament", and "honourable", contradict each other.
