Package: src:calendar-exchange-provider
Version: 3.9.0-1
Severity: important

Hello Mechthilde,

as you may know we try to get Icedove de-branded and migrated back to
Thunderbird again.

The package calendar-exchange-provider is setting some needed dependencies.
There is a dependency on icedove or thunderbird (through mozilla-devscripts)
but only a dependency on iceowl-extension. This needs to be expanded to

 iceowl-extension | lightning

to get rid of transitional packages one day, but satisfy the
dependencies. By this the dependencies can be also fulfilled if the user
has no icedove related package installed at all and don't want them.

And also related by this transition, please adjust your Build-Depends to

 icedove-dev (>= 38.7) | thunderbird-dev

We plan to ship the transitional icedove package for Stretch of course
but cut them up for Stretch+1.

We have a ongoing discussion with the release team in #851989 for
getting Thunderbird packages into stretch.

The experimental repository is providing thunderbird packages for
testing.
