@Rene Engelhard:

Except that there's no "thunderbird" package anymopre, so this is
a non-issue.

Please fix the Debian package as well.

No. Why should I? There is no thunderbird in Debian, it's icedove. And that
one works.

When there is no thunderbird in Debian, so why do packages conflict with it? It would only make sense if there were an alien thunderbird package, and this would really conflict with those language files; and indeed, there has has been a conflicting thunderbird - a very ancient one. And there is another alien thunderbird package - the current upstream version. This one does not conflict, but neverless it cannot coexist with any of those hunspell packages. This IS an issue for anyone like myself who wants to run the latest thunderbird.

You are extremely finical with software freedom, but don't care for your user's freedom to run the software they want on your system? That's an inconsistency.

So please: If you do not care about ancient thunderbirds, remove the "conflicts: thunderbird" lines, or else change them like Ubuntu did. The effort is negligible, and it would profit many users.

Greetings

Heinz Repp
