As a reminder (esp. for myself): intrigeri did the patch queue magic to transform our git branch in a quilt patch series, and it’s likely the same kind of work that will be needed (and hopefully sufficient) when 60 final gets packaged. He’s used to that tool, so will be doing that unless I manage to learn it by accident and beat him to it.

Advance warning: @thunderbird.mozilla.org is likely to make its come back, according to a comment by Carsten.

I’m not sure why it doesn’t show up on the Debian BTS yet (https://bugs.debian.org/906176 was cc’d though), so here it is:

So we’ll likely need to adjust config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/lib/tails-shell-library/thunderbird.sh when we sync.

Everything looks good to me.

I had to check why we were adding an overlay again, but that seems perfectly fine as overlays are merged before releases, so the previous config/APT_overlays.d/ entry for Thunderbird went away for 3.9-rc1.
