[Bug 1682455] Re: thunderbird not available in GNOME Software

** Description changed:

- I am filing this against Thunderbird, even though it also concerns
- another package (GNOME Software).
+ Ubuntu's firefox and thunderbird ship their app icons in
+ /usr/share/pixmaps/
+ 
+ Please move them to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/ instead so that
+ these apps can be shown as available for install in GNOME Software.

  Essentially, using a freshly installed Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, Thunderbird
  is not available in GNOME Software (the default software app for this
  flavour). You cannot find it via search or the packages browser.
  
  The only way to install it is via apt-get and even then it doesn't show
  in Software (see attached picture).
