Having had some contact with MXit lately I thought I'd jump on this
thread... Looks like they produced their own third partly plugin as a
separate package, and then got their plugin merged upstream into
pidgin. The pidgin package should really conflict with the mxit
package, causing it to be removed in the process, but I guess pidgin
packagers don't know about the mxit package.
