If Debian would include them from upstream as they are, they could call
them Firefox and Thunderbird as quasi every other Linux distro does. But
as already pointed out several times before, you are not allowed to
change a single thing, not even to stay away from Google for the
startpage for the first start. Thunderbird opens (at least opened) with
advertisings, when started for the very first time, what Debian software
opens with advertisings?
