GAIM b5

[Ulrik Mikaelsson]

I understand the frustration of getting bug-reports for other peoples
work. Those 8 hours of my day, 5 days a week.

However, It's been my experience that interesting backports are rarely
seen. Is that due to poor interest amongst the packagers, or due to
reliability policies?
