Hi! As thunderbird is an animal more equal than others and gets to update to major new upstream releases inside stable, related packages are likely to get broken. This happened over a year ago to birdtray. Naturally, it got updated upstream -- but that's a mix of support for new thunderbird and unrelated new developments. That made birdtray ineligible for a stable update as-is -- unless I argued for uploading to a major new upstream, or did the work of unentangling changes to somehow extract just the needed bits. Neither has happened, and by now we have Bullseye released. Cf. #959927 Thus, let's get rid of birdtray/buster -- and hope this won't happen again. Meow!
