gaim-remote not installed, breaks aim: links in firefox

Bug Description

Currently the gaim debian/rules script removes all *.py files:

# Remove the sample python scripts since they require python 2.4
rm -f debian/gaim/usr/bin/*.py

This unfortunately means that gaim-remote.py is removed from the install.

Since there is no longer a program called gaim-remote aim links do not work in firefox because /usr/share/gconf/schemas/desktop_gnome_url_handlers.schemas sets gaim-remote as the handler for aim links.

Can please insure that gaim-remote is installed (note for the handler to work it needs to be gaim-remote not gaim-remote.py)

Thanks

I have been told that from version 2.0.0b4 the correct program to use is gaim-url-handler but I noticed that this file is also not installed (I check http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=gaim&version=feisty&arch=i386) so it would be nice if you could make sure this was also installed.
