I found that taking the tarball from seamonkey-project.org is dead easy.
Just unpack it in /opt and start /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey. No installation
needed.

You can have a look at the seamonkey-project.org site now and then to see if
a new version is available, but you can also follow
www.seamonkey-project.org/news via RSS, so you get notified when a new version
is available. Then just delete /opt/seamonkey and put the new version there.
