this statement is not fully true from a backview. We need to ship the transitional icedove package for Stretch at all times so a dependency on 'icedove' will end in the reverse dependency on 'thunderbird' and the extension will work. For Stretch+1 we need to proof the xul-ext packages for depending on thunderbird then. Christoph will check which reverse depends on icedove-dev we have. Regards
