Bug#550918: finch: dependencies pull in almost a complete X server
Apologies for my earlier misunderstanding of the problem. I have read the bug ticket on pidgin.im and there doesn't seem to be any interest in moving the voice/video parts out of libpurple. I'm wondering what the potential issues of having a separate libpurple for finch (libpurple-finch?) would be?

Bug#550918: finch: dependencies pull in almost a complete X server
I would like to raise this bug again. It is possible to compile finch with out the requirement for X server etc libraries, I believe the important config flag is --disable-gtkui. Is there any chance this could be changed for finch? I am a novice at packaging, but I'm prepared to dig deeper into this problem if required.
