Comment(by zyv):
Well, it does not make any sense to me, since "supporting" Hardy LTS per
se only means to relax two dependencies and disable A/V (and I am willing
to provide patches against stock Ubuntu packages for this). At the same
time, since Interpid and Jaunty EOLed already, this is the only
distribution older than Karmic to support.
At the same time, it makes total sense to me, if this decision has been
taken, to remove all remaining packages for < Karmic from the PPA and
state that only Karmic+ is supported in the description.
Also, if you want to only support Karmic+, you can remove old text about
pidgin-ppa or put it into the section saying "Those with HTTP-only access"
and suggest to use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name as per
https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ppa/
