Replying to myself :
On my own week-old 32bit linux Ubuntu build from master, I can see various choices for existing database connections, among which Thunderbird and Seamonkey address books. The ODB file can be created just fine, however, the wizard does not pick up the user's TB/SM profile, and thus can not actually make the connection to the mozab underlying database file.
Even if I save the ODB file, re-open and then try and reset the properties of the ODB connection to point to the mab file, this still fails to work. So as far as I'm concerned, my tests were inconclusive. I can't tell whether it is a problem in the connectivity code or somewhere else, because there is not much point in listing the available types of database if LibO can not actually connect to them.
