please backport Pidgin

[Giorgio Caldini]

the version in Lucid is the 2.6.6, the newest version is 2.7.3.

[Manveru (manveru)]

Build successfully from Maverick with prevu on Lucid amd64.

(Not my job according to the process) Installation by apt-get successful. Works. I can talk to each other.

[Iain Lane (laney)]

Anyone can test a backport.

Someone needs to test (a good selection of) the reverse dependencies of pidgin to see if they aren't broken by the backport (build the backported package and check if these package still work). If they are broken then also try to backport those and then we can do it as a group.

Thanks!

These are the rdepends I found in lucid.
