I know about all the community built debs that have alread been made, but I am just wondering why on this page: http://pidgin.im/download/ there are only rpm's (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora)
If the largest linux user base is ubuntu (I have no backup of this, it is just the way things seem now wouldn't you agree? or at least that the ubuntu user base s the most active and excited around?), then shouldn't they have an official deb for ubuntu (or 2 - one for debian and one for ubuntu) ?
This just seems logical to me if they want to have the widest adoption of their software.
Note: This is an objective argument, I have nothing against the pidgin devs' ways...
