Uhm... unless somebody has NMU'd it in the past few hours, the Debian
Gaim package does not contain SILC support, and won't do so until
#273871 is fixed. The SILC client library is packaged by somebody who
apparently denies that shared libraries have versions. I do not want to
introduce a dependency on these broken packages, because it will break
when SILC undergoes any API or ABI changes in the future. I'd prepare an
NMU if I cared about SILC, but I don't. I'd refer this bug to the
technical committee if I believed anything would actually happen.
