Yes, it's meaningful because it allows updates to pidgin > 2.7.1-1 to
pull in the pidgin-evolution package without requiring an explicit
dependency on pidgin-evolution (which was the whole point of splitting
out the sub-package in the first place, see bug #581144)
At least it causes package-manager to display an irritating (and
somehow bogus) warning box that it's going to remove pidgin, and needs
confirmation for that.
I'm not sure which "package-manager" this is, but I suggest the fix is
to make "package-manager" not display this warning if it is not really
removing pidgin.
