FWIW, if the user were to be transparently redirected from an
unused/unprefered $foo at rtc.debian.org to the DD's prefered contact,
this would be a problem. But, given that OTR has a session
establishment phase, what could be done is to auto-answer to any
incoming message with "DD $foo does not use their RTC account" or "DD
$foo prefers contact via their other XMPP account,
$foo at otherserver.info"
