Comment(by rlaager):

 It's my intention to build a "pidgin-ppa" .deb package that contains the
 key. The post-installation script would add the key and configure the apt
 source. Additionally, it would contain an init script to update the apt
 source if the distro was upgraded. This should reduce the installation
 process to clicking a link on pidgin.im/download/ubuntu and approving the
 necessary security prompts. This won't happen sooner than this weekend.
 I'm really hoping to complete it before the release of Karmic though. I'm
 anticipating more downloads, as I believe they're replacing Pidgin with
 Empathy as the default IM client in Ubuntu.
