Note that the update to thunderbird 78 breaks tinyjsd and jsunit.

>From TinyJSD's homepage¹:

  « Note: due to the massive and rapid changes in the Mozilla Platform,
TinyJSD is no longer actively maintained. The last version supports
Thunderbird 60/SeaMonkey 2.57. We recommend to use the standard
Developer Tools that are shipped with Thunderbird. »

>From the enigmail-users mailing list²:

  « I did not port JSUnit to TB 78. »

Consequently, in the update I have marked thunderbird as breaking
tinyjsd and jsunit, and replacing tinyjsd.

thunderbird 78.5.0 currently in focal-proposed is blocked¹:

  ◦ Issues preventing migration:
  ◦ autopkgtest for jsunit/0.2.2-2: amd64: Regression ♻ , arm64: Regression ♻ , 
armhf: Regression ♻ , i386: Ignored failure, ppc64el: Regression ♻ , s390x: Not 
a regression
  ◦ migrating thunderbird/1:78.5.0+build3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1/amd64 to testing 
makes tinyjsd/1.2+git1-1/amd64 uninstallable

I would welcome help from the SRU team to decide the best course of
action to unblock this situation.

Bug description:
  Upstream Thunderbird version 78.2.2 should be a candidate for
  backporting to stable Ubuntu releases.

  I've successfully built 78.2.1 against both with forcing nodejs
  version (20.04, 18.04) and disabling AV1 support due to too old nasm
  (18.04). Attaching debdiffs here.
