The old GTK client (that used to be packaged in the linphone package) is
gone upstream and will not come back.

However, linphonec is not the successor. The successor is a Qt based GUI
client which unfortunately will only migrate to testing in a few days.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linphone-desktop

Please try this one instead. It is still a very different beast than the
Gtk client, but I hope it will be more usable as a SIP client than
linphonec.
