Unblock request for tkabber 0.11.0-2
Two bugs in HTTP proxy code of tkabber [1], a GUI client for XMPP
(Jabber) instant messaging protocol, were reported after its latest
stable release (0.11.0); unfortunately this happened after Lenny was frozen.
The first of them (#492929) leads to a crash when BASIC authentication
is attempted on a HTTP proxy, the second one (#493010) is less severe:
proxy settings are "sticky" -- once proxy server was used for connecting
this can't be switched off without restarting.
These bugs effectively proxibit usage of tkabber for those who sit
behing a HTTP proxy server requiring BASIC authentication, so please
unblock 0.11.0-2 from entering Lenny.
Patches ([1] and [2]) for these bugs are rather non-intrusive so it's
very unlikely they break anything else.
