6 years ago On 14.04 the files get installed into debian/tmp because, unlike the other versions, 14.04 build creates two binary packages - pidgin-sipe and pidgin-sipe-dbg. Therefore we still need debian/pidgin-sipe.install to tell dpkg which files should go into which package. Without it pidgin-sipe ends up empty as you're seeing.
I have put the install file back and triggered a rebuild. The package looks good to me now. Please reinstall from the PPA.

This package is broken, it's almost empty (there are only doc files left in the .deb file): pidgin-sipe -

Comparing the build logs beetween this two packages gives some clues:
