Dear Maintainer,
Please consider uploading the latest 2.2 version of Enigmail to support the
ongoing Thunderbird upgrade to version 78.
This version includes a migration wizard for existing Enigmail configurations,
which will become obsolete due to the integration of PGP support in
Thunderbird. Since the Thunderbird 78 package in Debian contains a Breaks: on
Enigmail << 2.2, it will cause Enigmail to be removed when upgrading
Thunderbird. This will lead to users missing out on the conversion wizard.
d/watch refers to the project homepage and not the Gitlab page, so it currently
doesn't detect these new versions. The code for Enigmail 2.2 can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/enigmail/enigmail/-/tags
It's possible that Enigmail 2.2 no longer contains functionality for
Thunderbird << 78, so careful testing of the package is needed. Thunderbird 78
is currently only available in experimental, so an upload to experimental first
would be a good idea.
Thank you.
