 The log is stored in ~/.purple/log/ and isn't touched at all by any
package. About having to remove the lenny version of the package before
installing from backports - I can't relate. If that is the case then it
is a bug that should get addressed (and please also get reported), but I
rather suspect that it was a misusage on that person's end.

 Have fun. :)
