Please try something like what Firefox 60 does in their dh_shlibdeps override:
https://salsa.debian.org/mozilla-team/firefox/blob/release/master/debian/rules#L307 Ubuntu has done this change in their pending Thunderbird 60 packaging also (except that Ubuntu's packaging uses cdbs). I consider this change safe since Mozilla does not support any NPAPI plugins other than Flash after Firefox 52 ESR. The Flash plugins in Debian already depend on libgtk2.0-0. (I don't even know if Flash works in Thunderbird since I don't have a convenient test case.)
