look at the URL, seems to be arch independant. reassigning to net-im

Bug sent upstream.
Since upstream is dead.. this bug wont get resolved.. I'll end up masking this package at some point.
From what I can tell, the developers of gnome-jabber have gone over to Gossip. So keep your eye on http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/gnome/gossip/.rss for further developments.
