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.
