It does, but Ubuntu tends to stick with a given version of a package
and only release fixes for security issues within their own generic
cycle.  Hence, Pidgin tends to become increasingly out of date, and
with a package that sometimes must rapidly adapt to volatile protocols,
this can be problematic.

For this reason, I recommend pitching Ubuntu's Pidgin package and
using the one at Getdeb, which seems to do a much better job of
providing the latest and greatest version Pidgin.  Their current
version works great for me:
