Attached is my diff.gz from Pidgin 2.5.0-0ubuntu2 to Pidgin 2.5.1-0ubuntu1.

This update potentially fixes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/263293 (needs testing).

I realise we may want to wait for Debian experimental before updating this package. If anyone would like to test it, I have it available on my PPA.
