version in karmic is incompatible with pidgin version in karmic

[Lalo Martins]

Binary package hint: pidgin-mbpurple

karmic has 0.2.2 of pidgin-mbpurple and pidgin 2.6.x. In 2.6, pidgin changed the API for "internal links", a feature which mbpurple uses a lot. So mbpurple is partially unusable in karmic. Fix: update it to 0.2.4 which is compatible with pidgin 2.6.
