Package: thunderbird
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The script /usr/bin/thunderbird needs to be fixed. Lines 196, 198 & 199 are not 
valid. It seems that in bash, you cannot place anything after a backslash (even 
comments), otherwise the rest of the statement get broken.

In my case, I uninstalled the icedove package because it seemed to me useless 
as I use the thunderbird package now but I got an error message and couldn't 
launch thunderbird.
Instead, I got those error message (in the console):

/usr/bin/thunderbird: line 197:  : command not found
<12>Mar  8 00:32:15 jpdeplaix[32177]: /usr/bin/thunderbird: [profile migration] 
Couldn't migrate Icedove into Thunderbird profile due existing or symlinked 
folder '/home/jpdeplaix/.thunderbird'!
<12>Mar  8 00:32:15 jpdeplaix[32179]: /usr/bin/thunderbird: [profile migration] 
/home/jpdeplaix/.icedove is probably a symlink pointing to a non existing 
target, at least not to /home/jpdeplaix/.icedove.
INFO  -> An error happened while trying to migrate the old Icedove profile 
folder '/home/jpdeplaix/.icedove'.

After having removed the comments (so that backslash is the last character on 
the line) on the lines above, it works fine.
Could you please fix the package as mentioned ?
