yours is at least the second icedove related mail today. Have you reported a bug? That is the purpose of testing -- to highlight bugs so they can be fixed. It is certainly not an *obligation* of those running testing to report bugs, but if they don't then the package will end up broken in the next stable. This, of course, is supposed to happen in unstable as well, to keep the number of bugs in testing down, but obviously no one running unstable has run in to this problem in time to keep the bug from propogating into testing.
