Will do. Any help on this would be appreciated.

I have some preliminary packaging done. There was some automagic stuff
that was sub-optimal that was fixed in a later upstream. I was waiting
for the etch freeze to end then the pidgin rename. I'm in the middle of
my exam study period right now, hopefully I'll have time to work on the
plugin pack soon. If you want to help, I'll be happy to put my work so
far online.

See Bug#422707.  Once the plug-in pack is packaged, gaim-irchelper
should be removed. This also means that pidgin-plugin-pack should
Conflicts and Provides gaim-irchelper, for users upgrading from Etch.
