Thanks for your input Lukas. Your points are valid, and others share
your concerns with the replacement of enigmail by a built-in
implementation that doesn't use the system keyring.

Unfortunately thunderbird 68 won't be supported with security updates
for much longer, definitely not for the remaining lifespan of Ubuntu
18.04 and 20.04. So the upgrade to 78 isn't avoidable.

Title:
  Backport Thunderbird 78 to 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Upstream Thunderbird version 78.2.2 should be a candidate for
  backporting to stable Ubuntu releases.

  I've successfully built 78.2.1 against both with forcing nodejs
  version (20.04, 18.04) and disabling AV1 support due to too old nasm
  (18.04). Attaching debdiffs here.
