Imho we should mention them (if we don't forget) in advisories for
those packages that they replace.  In this case, they should've been
mentioned in the advisories for Mozilla and Firebird.  Now they're
mentioned in Thunderbird, which is better than nothing, but not perfect,
but that's life.

(don't consider users to be smart enough - many are, but too many aren't)
