Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:78.3.1-2~deb10u2

Commit a21b649 (first included in 1:77.0~b1-1) silently changed the spelling of 
lockPref to lock_pref . This breaking change doesn't seem to have been 
documented anywhere: not in debian/changelog, not in debian/thunderbird.NEWS.

Moreover, it looks like parts of the test suite (e.g., 
extensions/pref/autoconfig/test/unit/autoconfig-all.cfg) are still referencing 
the old spelling. Are these files being used?

The most annoying implication of this change is that custom .js files must be 
updated at the same time as Thunderbird itself. It would have been more 
convenient if both spellings had been allowed during a transition period.
