No, this doesn't help, an empty /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions folder
stays after reinstallation, please make a real fix for this bug.

I'm pasting contents of my terminal window with apt-get --reinstall
install thunderbird command:

mantas at mantas-linux:~$ sudo apt-get --reinstall install thunderbird

mantas at mantas-linux:~$ 

It's very easy to fix this bug in debian/postinst or preinst scripts -
well known 'rmdir' command removes empty folder:

root at mantas-linux:/usr/lib/thunderbird# rmdir extensions
root at mantas-linux:/usr/lib/thunderbird# ln -s ../thunderbird-addons/extensions extensions

I think these commands should go to lightning-extension (and other
previously buggy thunderbird extensions) postinst
