starting with uploading src:thunderbird 1:52.5.0-1 there no transitional
packages like icedove* or iceowl* buils anymore. So the package
xul-ext-gcontactsync is depending on a binary package icedove which
isn't existing any longer in unstable.

I raised the severity for xul-ext-gcontactsync to serious as this
prevents now the migration of thunderbird packages to testing. Please
upload a rebuild package with adjusted description as mentioned by
Brain of xul-ext-gcontactsync. I guess you can also drop the patch from
the debian/patches folder.

Thanks
Carsten
