So we can now start. We was thinking about the Jessie and Wheezy releases but we will now start with Stretch. Hopefully we don't have to much adjust here so we can go quickly over to the de-branding in the other releases too. > So you only need to have the new src:thunderbird package in stretch (the > release team has to give their ok to this of course because it is a new > source package), jessie and wheezy. No, not really as this requirement is only true about binary packages. So we don't need to go through NEW again for the change of the source package. The stable-security team was noting they will probably accept the new thunderbird packages. But we need to get in contact with them. > Maybe I forgot something, but I hope this will simplify the work for > you.

We will see if we still got now some corner cases with the new additional pop-up window. With the 45.7.1 starting we need to collect other probably visible issues of the transmigration. It's planned to upload the next version to unstable/sid this weekend. Regards Carsten
