That page does sort of imply that the package will work with seamonkey -
but it doesn't.

dpkg -l enigmail -> Enigmail - GPG suppport for Thunderbird

Also, although the package page indicates that enigmail requires either
thunderbird or seamonkey-mailnews, at the top of the page it says
"OpenPGP extension for Thunderbird"

I've just tried it to be certain. On a machine that already had
Thunderbird & Enigmail installed I installed seamonkey. Enigmail support
conspicuous by its absence, so I re-installed enigmail - again, no
enigmail support in seamonkey.
