Comment(by sukhbir):

 I just checked and it seems that this "dependency" will just tell the user
 that Enigmail is required; it makes no attempt to actually install it. So
 if we go with this, when the user installs TorBirdy, s/he will be forced
 to install Enigmail even if they don't want to and without installing it,
 they cannot proceed. So this is a bad idea because the dependency system
 is pretty much broken.

 I think the next important step for us is to decide: what all do we ship
 with TorBirdy and how do we do it.
