Thanks for your elaboration. My reasons for requesting this are:
- GNOME != Unity, with all respect for Unity, but there are GNOME users that do 
not use any of it
- at the moment it pulls in only 2 kB, but when Unity extends dependencies 
(without being aware of this little package), it could pull in a whole lot more 
are did happen in the past
- hence, suggestion to split the package in thunderbird-gnome-support and 
thunderbird-unity-support
- for recommended packages I can still decide myself to install or deinstall 
it, with hard dependencies that is more difficult, luckily there is no hard 
dependency on thunderbird-gnome-support

Perhaps it is all a bit too much on the details in order to optimise
this for GNOME non-Unity users, but I hope you also see my point. So
sudo dpkg -P thunderbird-gnome-support works for me.
