 Hmm, I wonder about the need for that - is there troubles to backport
the current testing version of pidgin? Would it require special library
backports to be useable in stable? Guido, are you still keeping track of
it? From a quick check it seems to want libsilc, is that "all" that's
missing, can that part maybe get disabled?

 Thanks in advance for an update,
