I'm the maintainer of the latter package, I will prepare a upload for this package on this weekend (it's planed for a longer time at all), sogo-connector is only using some *.idl files from icedove-dev, that are more or less just JS files. But to get of the need for the transitional packages for the build and the package later the package needs a rebuild. I filled bug #852875 for calendar-exchange-provider, it's quite the same as for the sogo-connector. No header or libraries are used, the B-D and the Depends field needs to be adjusted. Mozilla upstream released Thunderbird 45.7.0 two days ago. Are you o.k. if we plan the upload about this version into unstable? I mean, there are only two packages with that dependency on the -dev package and other packages wont break even for stretch. Regards Carsten
