Hi,

There is a plan to keep using Debian's versions of the JS libs here.
Bundled libs are a hell to sort out.

Regarding the bug, it's due to the fact that now, hyperkitty and
postorius are depending on bootstrap4 while we relink to bootstrap 3.

I've made a patch that I'll upload soon for both packages.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
