Split libpurple and pidgin
I think that libpurple should be split from the pidgin package so that those that want to use something that requires it, like telepathy-haze, won't have to pull in the entire Pidgin messenger as a dependency. Would this be a good idea?

Re: Split libpurple and pidgin
I agree with this. I also think finch should be separated from pidgin (although this is less of a big deal). Pidgin is a brilliant gui instant messenger, but finch is pretty low on the hierarchy of cli messengers.
But yeah, needing pidgin in order to use empathy doesn't make sense.

That seems reasonable... File a feature request in the bug tracker.
