If you are running stable, you need to install the pidgin from
lenny-backports in order to get MSN support. Instructions on setting up
and installing from backports here:

I only use main repository. Why is not available by default?

My only guess is that at the time Lenny froze, pidgin had not yet
implemented support. Backports are fairly safe, especially for desktop
systems IMO. You will also find that some of the protocols (yahoo IIRC),
is broken in the Lenny pidgin due to the service changing their protocol.

I recommend grabbing it from backports.
