    * Possible solutions:
    -In the beginning of /usr/bin/thunderbird: perhaps do "unset DEBUG 
DEBUGGER" (and other variables?)

    -Perhaps rename all the variables into THUNDERBIRD_DEBUGGER,
    THUNDERBIRD_DEBUG, THUNDERBIRD_SHOW_BACKUP, etc. to avoid "generic
    names" to conflict?

    -At the end of the file if ${DEBUG} == 1 but ${DEBUGGER} == "": it
    exits the launcher without launching and without saying anything: say
    something? (it would have solved the problem but it would have been
    easier to fix it)

good catch!
The wrapper script was written a bit in a hurry and as seen by your report we haven't considered all the possible cases in the past.

To generic variable names are always problematic at some point, so your suggestion to prefix all the DEBUG name is a thing that need to happen. Would you be willing came up with a patch? If not I will try to work on this later within the preparation for next ESR cycle in Debian.
