package: pidgin
version: 2.2.1-1
trying to build using the version of libnspr4-dev currently in testing
results in the configure script not seeing mozilla nss due to the
absense of nspr.pc . This results in the package building on testing but
the binaries that result lacking ssl support (and hence the ability to
connect to msn) for no obvious reason. A versioned build-dep would
prevent the accidental creation of such broken builds.

This is actually a bug in the libnss3-dev dependencies then; nss.pc
depends on nspr.pc, but libnss3-dev does not have a versioned dependency
on libnspr4-dev. I'd suggest filing a proper bug there.
