Bug Description
Gwibber currently does some regex matching to make links out of twitter nicks, hashtags, grabbing urls for attachments, etc. Twitter now provides some extra metadata in the entities API which means we can get all that data reliable without regex matching. Enabling the use of entities in the API is optional now, but will be the default in the future. I would rather switch to it now for 12.04 instead of doing an SRU to fix it later on.
The results are significantly better and the switch also fixes several other bugs related to dupe matching and creating image previews for various linked media.

This has already been merged into trunk, I'll backport it to the 3.4 branch if the FFe is approved. For now here is a debdiff adding it as a patch.
