[Preview Release] mozilla-thunderbird 0.7-0.0.asac1, enigmail 2:0.84.1-0.asac3 and locale packages pushed

Just uploaded mozilla-thunderbird version 0.7-0.0.asac1 to the unofficial archives – Noteworthy changes include the newextension manager, multiple identities per account and others. For infos on general features added, read the Thunderbirds official release notes The bad side: The new extension manager made some troubles when it came to provide a way to install extensions in a debianized way. It was somehow hard to find the needed changes, but finally I came up with an at least suitable solution. Read below for further infos on this.
mozilla-thunderbird-dev package added – it contains the development files for building native extensions for thunderbird. The new enigmail source package (see below) leverages this new -dev package to build enigmail outside the mozilla-thunderbird source tree.
Enigmail has now its own source package. I uploaded the mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail-2:0.84.1-0.asac3 package to the unofficial archives. The source packages name is now just enigmail. You can install the binary package as usual by apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail. In future it might make sense to produce the mozilla binaries from the same source package as thunderbird. This should at least be possible now!
Extension/Locale Package maintainers – Please read: Update your Contents.rdf and test your packages now and provide me with feedback. Thanks!
Dutch language pack for 0.7 uploaded – A reference package for locales. The german language support will come soon. Upstream promissed to release next weekend.
