Bug Description
Binary package hint: gaim
Many corporations use Sametime/Meanwhile, so it might be a good idea to move libmeanwhile1 into the depends section for gaim. Corporations that use Sametime already and may be possibly moving to Gaim will be happy that it is available by default. The uncompressed size is ~250KB, which is small enough, and the compressed size is ~80KB on all architectures. Obviously, all additions to default packages (gaim is on the LiveCD) should be considered with care. In this instance, I think you get a lot of reward for the addition, especially from corporations moving away from closed-source alternatives.
