Yeah that is fixed. There where several DSAs missing, i found that while
digging for DSA 1134. My fault.

Not for r3 anymore. I know that these packages are in preparation, but i
would like to publish r3 rather soon, and we usually let DSA packages wait
about one week in p-u-new before adding them to proposed-updates. This
way, we can catch up with debian-security or the BTS if a DSA is
seriously broken (like mozilla-thunderbird on i386 or libfreetype6).
Okay, that did not work this time, but mainly also my fault...

I have prepared a binNMU on i386 for mozilla-thunderbird, availible on 
http://people.debian.org/~zobel/packages/3.1r3/

Could you please check, if these packages work for you?

The debdiff for the package is the following:

zobel@solar:~$ debdiff mozilla-thunderbird_1.0.2-2.sarge1.0.8a_i386.deb /org/solar.home.ftbfs.de/chroots/sarge/tmp/mozilla-thunderbird_1.0.2-2.sarge1.0.8a.1_i386.deb
