that depends a bit on the point of view as I don't see anything is
breaking here, but o.k.. :)
In the past while working on the first betas for the upcoming new ESR
version of Thunderbird I've tried to spread early any news regarding the
next (and now live) TB ESR version 78.x by sending information about the
ongoing process to pkg-mozext-maintainers. I requested early testing of
TB and also that the maintainers of packaged Add-ons to take of "their"
Add-ons.
This mostly was not possible though as even the upstream maintainers did
not provide updated versions of Add-ons.
The situation for Enigmail was different, there were new versions. But
until today we didn't get it managed that the Enigmail Add-on get
updated within Debian without any feedback from the maintainers why no
progress is possible.
As nobody can be enforced to do anything in Debian, but also Thunderbird
isn't a small and non relevant package in Debian, I moved ahead and
uploaded finally Thunderbird to unstable to moving forward. It's always
possible to install the Enigmail Add-on within the local profile. We did
had a quite similar situation with the previous ESR version 68 in Debian.
So I do not know why Enigmail can't get an update until today nor have I
the time and knowledge to prepare a updated enigmail package via NMU.

That's of course fine if you want to do that. And now already did.
