- Despite your assertion, there is a need for it - it's required for the 
launcher counter badge in Unity.
- The whole dependency chain is less than 2kB.
- What is the point of moving the dependency to another package that 
thunderbird would still recommend?
- You can just uninistall the thunderbird-gnome-support package (which is an 
empty package anyway).

So, no

Title:
   Remove libunity9 package dependency for thunderbird-gnome-support

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Please, drop the dependency from thunderbird-gnome-support on
  libunity9. There is no need for it and it unfairly forces non-Unity
  users to have Unity packages installed. If there is a reason for it,
  create thunderbird-unity-support and manage it there.
