IIUC, what's happening here is that they bundle the extension with
Thunderbird 38 so it's installed and enabled by default; so when you
create a new Thunderbird profile,
/usr/lib*/thunderbird/distribution/extensions/{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}/
will get copied to ~/.thunderbird/<PROFILE_NAME>/extensions; that also
happens if you run 38.0.1 for the first time and didn't have the
Lightning extension already installed (I was surprised to see the
calendar pane in Thunderbird after updating to 38.0.1, since I didn't
have that extension installed previously).
Also (IIUC) Lightning will be updated in your profile, just like any
other user-installed extension.
So what you can do is just copy the dir from
/usr/lib*/thunderbird/distribution/extensions and restart Thunderbird
or re-install it from addons.mozilla.org, I think either would lead to
the same result.
