Hi all,

You're getting this message if you're listed as the maintainer or an
uploader of a gaim plugin package.
Pidgin has been accepted into unstable, and I plan to upload
transitional dummy packages from gaim to pidgin in two weeks or so. This
means that you should be getting your separate pidgin plugin packages
uploaded ASAP, so that they have enough time to go through NEW. As a
quick checklist, you should be doing the following:
- Create a new package called pidgin-plugin, where it used to be called
gaim-plugin, with the sources separate from the gaim-plugin package.
- The build should be almost identical to the gaim plugin package, but
change the build-dependency from gaim-dev to pidgin-dev, and change
running dh_gaim to dh_pidgin.
- Prepare a gaim-plugin dummy package that just depends on
pidgin-plugin, but don't upload this until the gaim dummy packages are
uploaded. I'd be glad to upload your package at the same time as the
dummy gaim packages, just let me know.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Ari
