Finch is just a CLI for Pidgin.
It uses all the same backends and all of those need their dependencies
filling. As such, a lot of garb you wouldn't be able to even use on a
headless server gets pulled in.
I don't think there's a clean way around that short of formally
separating the two projects and cherry-picking code from the pidgin
backends and pulling that into Finch.
You should contact developers at de...@pidgin.im and bring this to their
attention.
Since this is the intended behaviour, I am closing this bug report.
** Changed in: pidgin (Ubuntu)
