In SM trunk, the keyboard shortcut for the paste-as-quotation action no 
longer works.  The Edit menu item still works when selected, but the 
Edit menu no longer shows shift-ctrl-V as the key board shortcut for it,
and that keyboard shortcut no longer works.

OK, Karsten, time to pull that old flag down.

This bug report as it stands is invalid. I imagine you want to keep it open though? (Please modify accordingly.)

How is this invalid?  The extension is gone.  That's a regression.
Are you saying that the SM people have decided not to fix it?
Then it's WONTFIX, not invalid.
If you've decided that backwards compatibility isn't important, 
then at least be honest about it.
Invalid, as the keyboard shortcut change was per design, a conscious decision and not by accident (as comment 0 would have you believe).
I'd say this bug should be marked as a dupe of either Bug 461117 (or vice-versa), or bug 192330.
This is a minor glitch, we won't hold off an alpha for this, we might approve a patch though, if it comes up and is reviewed in time.

The keyconfig extension can be had from the first link at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=72994 and it works on SeaMonkey (with Gecko versions later than rv:1.9.0.3 you may have to verride the maxVersion). The code for "Paste as Quotation" is

goDoCommand('cmd_pasteQuote');

You can use it a a workaround (as I do) until or unless this bug gets fixed.
Fixed in the meantime in 461117 and WFM on 2.0 and 2.1a1pre
