pidgin-twitter does not work in precise

[Reuben Thomas]

I have installed pidgin-twitter, but if I try to create an account "Twitter" is not offered as an account type. Further, my existing twitter account, which in accounts.xml is shown as having protocol type prpl-mbpurple-twitter, shows up as "Protocol: Unknown" in the Manage Accounts dialog.
