Mentors,
Changes:
- from contrib to non-free due to CC-BY-NC-SA PNGs license.
- debian/copyright
- no more lintian warning (source code format error remains due to
lintian bug #552707)
Thanks
Gabriele

- tarball contains svn version
- debian/copyright is in DEP-5 format
- source package format is "3.0 (quilt)" (the only lintian error)
- PNGs didn't change. I'm trying to contact the icons creator asking him

You would want to depend on libpurple0, but that should be happening
automatically. (I haven't tried building this
