Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Messenger tools such as pidgin are very insecure. There are some tools to overcome that such as pidgin-otr or pidgin-encryption, but they are useless if the other person you're chatting with doesn't use or even doesn't know about the problem and it's solutions.
So, I suggest this pidgin package to bring pidgin-otr at least as recommends. It's a way to increase use and knowledge about secure messenger conversations.
