Not sure why software center is the problem. We(the Mozilla team)
removed Sunbird from archives in Lucid and it will not be coming back
any time soon. Lightning will be pushed to Maverick If all goes weel it
might make a back port to Lucid but it is a good chance.

We removed Sunbird since it is no longer supported by Mozilla and we
never got a chance in time to strip Lightning-sunbird source before
release so we added release notes about Lightning.
