Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
I've observed that pidgin blindly sets the auto-away mode as specified,
regardless of the current state; an example being that it sets the Away
status after the specified time even when current status is Extended
Away
Why it is wrong?
Because auto-away is meant to automatically change online status to away; when
changing to Away from Extended Away it actually lessens the status of being
away, contrary to the original purpose.
What should happen instead?
Pidgin should detect higher Away modes like Extended, and prevent changing the
mode on Auto Away, unless the AA is configured to set a higher state (e.g. Auto
Away sets Extended Away, and the current state is Away or Online.)

pidgin should not override away mode with a lesser one on auto-away
