It is exactly related to the fact that thunderbird is supported, +and that extension are not despites depending on it. + +That precisely because we tell "security and bugfixes occurs only on +main" that contribs got broken, since the security team do not care to +not break contribs packages. + +><i> Rather that one package was updated, and an optional installed module +</I>><i> was not. +</I>><i> The fact that the module is optional is the key point. +</I>><i> The installer should be flexible enough to give a warning in this case, +</I>><i> and ask if you wish to continue the installation. +</I> +So basically, you want a --nodeps ? +If there is a requires, there is usually a good reason.
