I think it's better if you add a dependency on seq actually. The
package system should automatically install it on old versions, and the
GNU ELPA package has compatibility code that makes it work with Emacs
version 24.x.

Unless you want Emacs 23 compatibility, I don't think it is strictly
necessary to get rid of the seq dependency.
