Package: pidgin
Version: 2.4.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

The finch binary package currently depends on libx11-6 which is a bit strange
for a console application. This is because of the plugins gntclipboard/gntgf and
their .so: /usr/lib/finch/gntclipboard.so and /usr/lib/finch/gntgf.so.
Finch works correctly even without libx11, so the solution would be to move that
dependency to Suggests:.

Find attached the patch that was uploaded to Ubuntu (fixing bug #195718 [1]),
which just adds the necessary dh_shlibdeps arguments in debian/rules and the
${shlibs:Suggests} substvar in debian/control.

Changelog:
  * Moved finch's libx11-6 dependency to Suggests:
     - debian/rules: added necessary arguments to dh_shlibdeps
     - debian/control: added Suggests: ${shlibs:Suggests}
