[Critical News] workaround for grave bug in 0.5-2

Official unstable release 0.5-2 grave bug workaround:

If you end up with only grey windows after an upgrade to the latest mozilla-thunderbird from the debian unstable mirrors, simply reinstall the mozilla-thunderbird package, by removing & installing it in two separate steps. Sorry for any problems incurred through this. I will upload a fixed version ASAP.
