Currently libotr2* are not build from any source package in sid.
That means that any packages depending on it cannot transition into
testing (if it was not frozen).
That also means that libotr5 cannot transition into testing (if it was
not frozen).

Sure it's not a problem. But if the existing status quo is kept, neither
libotr5 nor the new pidgin will make it into wheezy nor jessie.
Your package is not fit for inclusion in a stable release.

Given your position, maybe you should file removal requests for package
that still depend on libotr2.

In Ubuntu, I have uploaded libotr2 source package to transition libotr5
into testing and keep all applications that use libotr2 or libotr5
installable and releasable.

Thanks, for you time.
