Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:45.7.1-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

the new thunderbird wrapper script breaks the command line parsing
E.g. "thunderbird --ProfileManager" no longer works, instead you get an
error:

$ thunderbird --ProfileManager
Illegal option --

Usage: thunderbird [-h|-vg|-- @args]
The options have to be used in the correct order!
...

This is related to #855334, but I don't think, existing tools should be
updated to use "--", instead the wrapper script needs to be fixed to be
backwards compatible.

Marking this as RC, as it breaks existing applications and scripts.

Regards,
Michael
