[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] pidgin/network-manager/wireless-tools on kfreebsd-*

[peter green]

After a breif period of being built without network-manager support (due 
to a non-bsd related issue) pidgin is now being built with 
network-manager support again.

Unfortunately that means the build-depends are uninstallable on 
kfreebsd-* and hence the package is out of date on the bsd 
architectures. While the bsd architectures are currently being ignored 
for testing transition purposes out of sync packages are still a bad thing.

network-manager is not being built because it build-depends on libiw-dev 
which is part of source package wireless-tools. Attempts have been made 
to build wireless-tools but it seems to require linux specific headers.

Obviously one soloution would be to build the kfreebsd-* pidgin packages 
without network-manager support. Should I file a bug report asking for 
that or should this be fixed further up the dependency chain? Does 
anyone have any idea how difficult it would be to makde wireless-tools 
build on kfreebsd or made network-manager build without it?
