Package: pidgin
Version: 2.2.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Currently pidgin didn't fully support MSN group, for instance, it
displays the group bot's name instead of the original message sender's.
The attached patch is a dirty work around by inline the sender's name in
the message itself, but it might be a start point of a better patch.
It's already reported upstream at
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/3319
and I wonder if there's a chance for Debian to incorporate it.
