I'm a happy user of Lightning too, and I started using it once I
noticed it being included in default Thunderbird builds by upstream. I
use it with my Debian CalDAV server.

I don't know how much work real integration would be, but as a
band-aid I'm currently using ”EDS Calendar Integration” extension on
my Thunderbird which makes the events available in the date applet.
