FWIW, Debian ships code remarkably similar to Thunderbird under the name
Icedove, for the same trademark reasons as Firefox/Iceweasel.
/usr/bin/icedove is a symlink to /usr/lib/icedove/icedove which seems to
be the real executable.

How much do you want to support those PPA builds and older releases,
bearing in mind that if you meaningfully supported them, you'd probably
already know how they're structured? :-)
