Title:
  Addon installer needed

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Since the recent versions of Thunderbird break compatibility quite frequent it's no longer possible for a normal user (or even an experienced one) to know how to get a working add on.
  For example the Lightning version in the lucid repo is ancient so the user has to manually install the addon. The link to the web pages are then bogus since there is no Lightning build for stable Thunderbird and 64 bit arch. Similar problems are present when trying to get GData plugin to install.
  Overall the addon system leaves the user totally lost which taken the version incompatabilities into account is just bad. When the abi/interfaces are not kept stable at least an addon tool should be present which then can workout the dependencies for the user.
