Sebastien-- That's why we do not GPG sign the packages, and make the users think about using unofficial packages. However, we also provide instructions for performing the backports. This would not have been necessary if Pidgin were to have been backported as requested months ago, however. Doing the actual backport itself is trivial, and is a self-contained upgrade built from the actual Gutsy source repository; the upgrade path is clean, should Ubuntu decide to release official package for Feisty, or users upgrade to Gutsy. We made sure of this. -- Mike -- Michael B.
