As the Thunderbird install now nicely upgrades and doesnt leave the old one into the registry, there is no need to differentiate versions in package id.
When a new version comes out, just replace every occurrence of 1.5 the installer in "upgrade cmd" with 1.5.1 (for example) a new one, and then increment the package revision number - this puts the upgrade command to work.
<package
id="thunderbird"
name="Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.4"
revision="15041"
reboot="false"
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Mozilla Thunderbird (1.5)" />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\\server\wpkg\pkgThunderbird\Thunderbird Setup 1.5.0.4.exe" -ms' />
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\\server\wpkg\pkgThunderbird\Thunderbird Setup 1.5.0.4.exe" -ms' />
<remove cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\uninstall\uninstall.exe" -ms' />
