Hi, please add dummy empty transitional packages to *stable* for the languages that have been dropped from thunderbird. This helps to avoid updating further packages in stable that depend on these language packages. Right now, the parl-desktop-world package in stretch is missing these dependencies: lightning-l10n-bn-bd lightning-l10n-pa-in lightning-l10n-ta-lk thunderbird-l10n-bn-bd thunderbird-l10n-pa-in thunderbird-l10n-ta-lk Please make them actual packages, not just some virtual provides, since upgrading from a real package to a virtual package usually does not work smoothly. Make sure these transitional packages have the same strict dependency on the thunderbird package from stretch as the actual translations, to ensure they get removed during the upgrade to buster (and don't stay installed as cruft). In case further languages get dropped in future uploads, add transitional packages for them in stable, too. The same probably applies to jessie-lts. Andreas
