[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#650459: telepathy-gabble description should mention Facebook Chat

[Jason Rhinelander]

Package: telepathy-gabble
Version: 0.13.7-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

It would be very helpful to add " and Facebook Chat" to the end of the
telepathy-gabble description (i.e. "..., including Google Talk and
Facebook Chat.".  When telepathy-gabble is installed, a "Facebook Chat"
protocol appears in Empathy, but it isn't obvious that this is a
Jabber/XMPP connection, and the package description as currently written
doesn't suggest that installing telepathy-gabble will give me Facebook
Chat support.

I recently removed telepathy-gabble package (among a bunch of other
upgrades), and the Facebook Chat account type in Empathy disappeared; I
didn't realize it at first, and by the time I did, I'd forgotten about
removing telepathy-gabble.  My mistake, I realize, but when trying to
figure out what I needed to install again to get it working, it took me
some time; in particular, `apt-cache search facebook' doesn't list
telepathy-gabble, and it isn't obvious that telepathy-gabble is the
needed package.

As I understand it, many moons ago, to get Facebook Chat working
required adding Jabber/XMPP support, then configuring the facebook
Jabber server info yourself; since Empathy now treats "Facebook Chat" as
a protocol distinct from Jabber (from the user's perspective), it would
be very useful to have this added to the description of telepathy-gabble,
as is currently the case for Google Talk (which also appears as a
distinct "Protocol" option in Empathy).
