Another option, that may be less troublesome than using mixed versions
of deb packages, is to use the .tar.gz file from the vendor. I.E.
Mozilla provides Thunderbird.tar.gz package, untar it to /usr/local and
link the binary to /usr/local/bin, make sure /usr/local/bin is in your
path. This keeps your system clean as far as apt knows, you can just
delete the Thunderbird or whatever dir when the package gets released/
installed as a deb file. /usr/local (/opt for LSB/FSH?) is a good place
to manage third party software, afaik.
