[Bug 1849162] Re: Lightning extension should be installed and enabled by default

[Olivier Tilloy]

That makes sense. Maybe we could reconsider that decision?

Quoting an e-mail from a thunderbird developer:

« In the Thunderbird community there has been quite a few discussions
lately on the problems with that packaging, especially regarding the
Lightning calendar. Thunderbird upstream is shipping Lightning bundled
and on by default, but apparently in Ubuntu an explicit install decision
needs to be made by the user. This has caused major problems for users
who couldn't figure out how to get lightning, or why it didn't show up
in the first place. »

People who have used upstream builds of thunderbird will expect
lightning to be bundled. At the very least we can bundle it in the main
thunderbird package, maybe not enabled by default? That would mostly fix
the discoverability problem.
