I ended up doing a new fork (long story off-topic here :-) )
My previous code is in the same URL: 
https://salsa.debian.org/carlespina/thunderbird/-/tree/thunderbird-launcher-variables
The smallest patch would be here: 
https://salsa.debian.org/carlespina/thunderbird/-/tree/unsets-DEBUG-DEBUGGER 
(unless we went for renaming DEBUG/DEBUGGER to TB_DEBUG/TB_DEBUGGER).

I haven't used vagrant and I don't know how the DEBUGGER variable would
be used in vagrant to show the runtime state. Either way, I understand
that for ESR it would be good to minimise changes, but me, as a casual
reader of the script it seems that DEBUGGER can be 1 only if DEBUG is
1 (by the option -g) making it not-useful...as it is now, of course!
(and making the last set of ifs harder to follow). I just got a bit
carried away yesterday.

I might have missed some code path and obviously future intentions :-)

I'm not sure what's the best way to fix the reported bug and/or if the
smallest patch is the way to go.

I'm happy to make other changes in the branch - my pleasure!

Cheers,
