Meta: I’ve narrowed the origin scope of this ticket (suggestion to use Torbirdy from sid, without any justification so far) → upgrade to 0.2.5 (that we need for Thunderbird 60). If someone thinks we should track torbirdy/sid, please file a new ticket and explain why :)

Nope. 0.2.5. is good!

I think we’re good here: since we can fetch email and OpenPGP keys, that must mean Torbirdy did its job.
