gaim 2

["peter green" <plugwash@P10Link.net>]

the further debians version of gaim gets from where upstream releases the
harder it gets to backport security updates and/or fixes for severe
breakages, in both woody and sarge it seems gaim was therefore left with
outstanding security bugs before the releases lifetime was over.

it would therefore seem far more sensible to have the gaim 2 betas in etch
rather than a cvs snapshot of a release series that seems to have been
abandoned by its upstream. However there are two packages currently getting
in the way

gaim-meanwhile: the functionality of this package has become part of gaim
and the package has been marked for removal from unstable but that hasn't
happened yet.
gaim-librvp: a minor protocol plugin and not present in sarge so removing
this should not be an issue for stable users (when etch goes stable) and
testing users should just be able to hang on to thier current gaim until
this is ported to gaim 2.

could theese be removed from testing to allow gaim 2 to drop in?
