[Bug 267824] Re: openoffice comes without thunderbird (Mozilla) Addressbook Driver (no libmozab2.so / libmozabdrv2.so)

Yes but why Ubuntu is not able to add a Build specific Patch? Most of
Ubuntu packages include own patches in the debian/patches dir (even
OpenOffice). I don't think it is too hard to modify the files which
fails to build with tb 2.0 / ff 3.0!

If this is really the case, EVERY modern Distri like Fedora, openSUSE,
etc. have these Problem? So there have to be a solution.

Maybe someone should kill all these dependencies and port this SDBC
provider to a lightweight lib like
http://freshmeat.net/projects/morkparser/ (BSD Licence) [read only].

This are the reasons why Mozilla will not allow to call the Product in
Debian Firefox, cause it maybe will NOT include all Features, so people
get confused! The same here, such things should be avoided!! Building
Software from source is great, but at least with such big Software
Products it should be done in the way the developers suggested it
(official Builds).
