Comment(by zyv):

 I think this libtool issue is beaten to death already, but let's go
 through it yet another time.

 You *cannot* arbitrary re-libtolize the package without considering the
 versions of the whole autocrap stack carefully! This feature was
 introduced in CDBS as a corner case to fix the builds for projects that
 release tarballs with broken build system. You should never use it unless
 you really want it to do what it does.

 Pidgin project ships a perfectly working build system with the source
 tarballs. It is not broken, so it does not make any sense to "fix" it in
 such a way. If you really want to, you can re-generate the whole build
 system on your own (not that it does make any sense), BUT in this case,
 you not only need to re-libtolize the package, but also do a complete
 autoreconf -vfi.

 This is exactly why your builds fail. Maverick / Lucid libtool is
 compatible with autostack that Pigdin release manager uses to generate the
 build system, but Karmic and earlier is just too old. So with re-libtolize
 CDBS option enabled you construct a Frankenstein from the new build system
 and old libtool which it no longer supports and wonder why it's not
 working...
