I had the same problem and the reason is not that the individual service
backend packages got removed, but that before natty those packages
didn't exist and the services were all packaged together in 'gwibber-
service' instead and that on upgrade the needed backends don't/didn't
get installed.  I understand why packaging them separately might be
useful (no need to install things you don't need), but this should not
cause this ugly breakage for existing users!

The best solution would be to show a dialog, offering the user to launch
software-center to install them...

If that's not possible (anymore), it should lists the names of all
backends needed, so that the user can install them themselves.

And at the very least gwibber should warn the user that some backend
plugins are missing, not crash silently!
