Thunderbird included in debian is just named that way, because mozilla _does
not_ permit to distribute a build that is modified or build with different build
parameters[1]. The problem here is, that upstream has some bugs outstanding
that would prevent us to package those packages at all. Further we need the
right to apply security patches. There is currently a discussion about this
issue going on on debian-legal.
To address the technical questions you had, manually installed extensions
_should not_ break unless they would break (disabled) after a
firefox/thunderbird upgrade with upstream builds too. Maybe you just need to
upgrade or reinstall your extension? At least for thunderbird I want the build
to be compatible with the upstream build from an extension point of view. So if
extensions that work upstream do not work, this would be a bug against the
debian package :)

I own the ITP for sunbird. I will package it as soon as I feel that sunbird is
in good shape and ready to be included into debian (But please remember that
sunbird is not even version 0.2). Maybe I will manage to release a preview
package in a two weaks or so on my site or upload to experimental. So keep your
eyes open ;)
