your package is referencing to Icedove within short and long
description. The package has also a Depends on icedove >= 2.0 which will
be unresolvable with a upload of thunderbird packages 1:52.5.0-1 as we
planning to remove the currently existing transitional packages starting
with this version in unstable/testing.
While writing this report the version in unstable/testing of thunderbird
is 1:52.3.0-4. Mozilla is planning to release Firefox (Thunderbird)
52.5.0 on 2017-11-14.

Please rework the control file for src:bidiui to get the package still
available in testing.

I plan to raise the importance to important after preparing and pushing
Thunderbird 52.4.0 to unstable and to serious with 52.5.0.

Regards and Thanks
Carsten (on behalf of maintaining src:icedove)
