nautilus-sendto is build without Gajim support

the gajim option is not enabled because that's an universe package and nautilus-sendto can't build-depends on it, marking it low issue due to the recommends not required though

In that case I'd beg you to just remove the check for gajim.png from the configure script in a patch. Which would remove the need to build-depend on gajim, but still enable building the plugin.
The file is not needed during build time and as the plugin will only load when gajim is running (therefore probably installed), it shouldn't cause problems during runtime (after all debian builds the plugin and doesn't have a dependency on gajim so that should work)

the desktop team is overworked and gajim which is in universe is not a priority but you are welcome to work on the change and contribute by sending a patch to fix the issue

Attaching a debdiff that should fix the issue.

thank you for the change, that seems an acceptable change, could you update the description and the rules option to use the debian version again though

I can, it's not necessarily a good idea though ;)
The new patch I attached gets control(.in) and rules closer to the debian version again, there are still differences though, due to the fact that Debian has Icedove and Ubuntu has Thunderbird. Also adding --with-gajim=/usr back is purely to be closer to Debian. After all the whole point of this patch is to not check for icons in there any longer.

the patch looks good, could you remove the extra changelog blank line you added and list the bug number to close there too though? once those are changed I'll sponsor the upload

Hah, really wonder how that black line slipped in there.
Anyway here is a new version that closes this ticket and has no extra blanks (hopefully).

thank you for the update, the correct syntax to close launchpad bugs is "lp: bugnumber", the closes syntax is a debian one

So I take it that there is no syntax for referencing a bug without closing it?

you can use any syntax which is not the closing one to reference a bug, don't forgot the reopen bugs once you do changes otherwise they are not listed on the sponsoring lists

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus-sendto - 1.0.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
nautilus-sendto (1.0.1-0ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Add a patch to build gajim regardless of
    $GAJIM_SHARE_DIR/data/pixmaps/gajim.png's presence (lp: #261166")
