the build is still depending on libgtk+2-dev. Thus I believe some dependency is pulled in automatically as the binaries are linked against this library and dh_shlibdeps is detecting this correctly and finally the libgtk+2 library is added to the thunderbird package as a required dependency. This is more a upstream issue I think. Open a bug report within the Mozilla bugtracker please so we can add the link to this report here. I have no time to dig into the autotools related file to try out if this library could be removed from the Thunderbird build. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
