I think I have found the root of the problem. If you build the
pidgin-plugin-pack package from source, the switchspell plugin is not built
because the gtkspell and aspell header files are not in the build dependencies
for the package.
If you install libgtkspell-dev and libaspell-dev manually before building the
package, the switchspell plugin is compiled and included in the package.
To rebuild the package yourself, do:
sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin-plugin-pack
sudo apt-get install fakeroot libgtkspell-dev libaspell-dev
apt-get source pidgin-plugin-pack
cd purple-plugin-pack-2.2.0/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
This should give you a deb file with switchspell included in the parent
directory.
