[Bug 320707] [NEW] [need-packaging] please, upgrade pidgin to new upstream release 2.5.4

[Ivan Zorin]

Hello. This is my first sponsor's request, so, maybe somewhere I've made
some mistakes. However, I've reported about "need-packaging" bug:

Binary package hint: pidgin

Also, it would be nice to include this patch -
http://developer.pidgin.im/attachment/ticket/8198/pidgin-NOT-
UPSTREAM-2.5.4-icq-russia.patch - which probably fix this very actual(at
present time) bug for some users -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/319547

** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New


** Tags: upgrade


and I've applied patch in diff.gz for upstream tarball - http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21585862/pidgin_2.5.4-0ubuntu1.diff.gz
So, I will be very appreciate, if someone could to review patch, and, if everything well, to make packages and to upload them into Ubuntu repos.
