Package: gaim
Severity: normal

As discussed on IRC -- dh_gaim is too strict when producing
dependencies.

>From Gaim's FAQ:

What will the next version be?
    Starting with version 1.0.0, Gaim version numbers have 3 parts to
    them. The format is major.minor.micro. If we change something
    internally in Gaim such that some plugins won't work with the
    newer version, we will increment the major version number. If we
    don't increment the major version number, and we've added things
    to the Gaim API that won't break any older stuff, we will
    increment the minor version number. In any other cases, we will
    increment the micro version number. Even and odd numbers have
    nothing to do with stability, and you should always be running the
    latest release of Gaim to get new features and bug fixes.

The patch available at
http://err.no/patches/gaim_dh_gaim_real_gaim_version_policy.diff makes
dh_gaim comply with upstream's versioning scheme.
