Thanks for your report.
Well, transitional packages don't hurt, and it wouldn't be worth the
effort to maintain code in language-selector to exclude such packages.
The right step to take seems to be that the thunderbird source package
simply stops building thunderbird-locale-en-gb and thunderbird-locale-
en-us.
