What's in the gconf key /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command ?
Get it with something like "gconftool-2 --get
/apps/mail-notification/commands/mail-read/command" or by using
gconf-editor.
(You might want to try to install gconf-editor to easily get/set its value).

No debian packaging files for 5.4 as haven't ported them yet.
You might have noticed that there's been significant changes upstream
since 4.x .
Changes include license changes and a switch to a not-autotools
configure/build tool.

Try editing the relevant gconf key as mentionned above.
