While it workarounds the issue temporarily, it should be solved in the package.
There are two options for Ubuntu:
* pre-fill the field in the libreoffice package with "thunderbird" 
(Ubuntu-centric)
* add a link /usr/bin/sensible-louma which points to /usr/bin/thunderbird

I'd prefer the second option because: it leaves LO alone and seems to be more 
update proof.
This link could be managed by update-alternative.

So instead of changing the LO value (which anyway is only user specific,
so you would have to change that for EACH single user on your system,
just do a

ln -s /usr/bin/thunderbird /usr/local/bin/sensible-louma

This workarounds the issue as well and a) leaves room for updates, b)
doesn't touch the LO settings so all users are affected.
