[karmic] libpurple0 pulls in Pidgin

[Sense Egbert Hofstede]

Binary package hint: pidgin

Upgrading libpurple0 requires libpurple0-bin to be upgraded and requires pidgin to be installed.
Thanks to this there are two IM-clients installed by default because libpurple0 is a dependency of telepathy-haze and thus indirectly of ubuntu-desktop.
Libpurple0 shouldn't trigger the installation of Pidgin, there is no need for two IM-clients.

It seems to be caused by the fact that libpurple0 recommends pidgin-libnotify. This package requires pidgin.

The recommends should have been on pidgin and not libpurple0. Here's a patch.

Would be good to solve this before we release the beta so that we get feedback on the intended configuraiton

This is fixed in 1:2.6.2-1ubuntu6
