In the meantime, another upload of thunderbird broken the version check, which was "up to 60.0". Turns out 60.2.1 does not match that anymore. :/ Details in #910973; no one from the maintainer team responded thus I scheduled a NMU, it'll go in tomorrow evening. Unlike the first patch which required quite large code changes, this is just a version bump. I guess you have no problems with that, but stretch-pu bugs are version-marked so we'd still need to coordinate on it. And wrt the future: some people went angry about Thunderbird breaking extensions again and again, and made https://github.com/gyunaev/birdtray Obviously, it's not an option for Stretch, but there's hope we'll avoid this unpleasantness for Buster.
