This bug was fixed in the package thunderbird -
1:68.2.1+build1-0ubuntu0.19.10.1
---------------
thunderbird (1:68.2.1+build1-0ubuntu0.19.10.1) eoan; urgency=medium
* New upstream stable release (68.2.1build1)
* Ensure that external dictionaries are still loaded (LP: #1847247)
- debian/thunderbird.sh.in
* Export MOZ_SOURCE_REPO and MOZ_SOURCE_CHANGESET during the configure step
as this is now mandatory for the build system to determine and expose the
comm repository and revision used to generate the source tarball
(see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1507754)
- debian/build/create-tarball.py
- debian/build/rules.mk
* Add an explicit build dependency on libclang-dev
- debian/control{,.in}
* Fix the repacking of lightning with all locales (the artifact was renamed
to lightning.xpi, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1588659)
- debian/build/rules.mk

On Ubuntu Eoan and most recent Thunderbird, the external Hunspell

../../share/hunspell
But data doesn't get loaded for some reason.
