So, the message in the "dead.package" file could have read: The SeaMonkey Fedora Extras package for FC5 will be moved to Fedora Core _5_ <-- (!) and it will made to obsolete the Mozilla package. IMO, it's somewhat intimidating that in order to learn about the background of such package movement it is pointed to _another_ mailing-list.
