[Bug 1731738] Re: Please stop building obsolete transitional packages

[gf]

Hello Amr, 
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird. 

The programmers have decided not to address this problem. They have
provided an explanation above.

I am clearing up the old thunderbird tickets. I am changing status of the "thunderbird" portion of this ticket to "won't fix," to match the "language-selector" portion of this ticket.
 
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
