I choose 'grave' because the bugs about the incompatibility are set to
grave like #968102.

yes I will take the right versioning 2.16.1~deb10u1-1. I was irritated
with the description in th the developer reference. But now I hope I
understand the difference which isn't described there.

The new package isn't compatible with Thunderbird 68 but only with 78 as
described in d/control. That's why it is useful to update to
stable-update and not to proposed-update.

Since RT updated Thunderbird in buster from version 68.x to 78.x this
causes the incompatibility from webext-tbsync with the recent
Thunderbird version in Buster.

The previous version doesn't work anymore

yes I will change the versioning for all three packages. Sorry for the
missinterpreting the developer-reference about this.

I hope now it is cleare why I prefer an upload to stable
