Thanks Stefan for the clarification.

I think this tight correlation between Thunderbird and Lightning versions is a 
real issue for linux distributions.
When Thunderbird is distributed through the package manager of the distro, and 
Lightning installed (and updated) through the add-on manager of Lightning, 
these versions do not evolve at the same speed.
At least on Ubuntu, it seems to be frequently installed like that, because the 
lightning ubuntu package does not include localization (this is an 
ubuntu-specific issue : 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightning-extension/+bug/930589)

Upgrading to Thunderbird 24.0.1 in every distro appears to be only a
temporary solution : if I understood correctly, the incompatibility
should re-appear as soon as Lightning 2.6.2 is released?
