Source: libstrophe
Version: 0.14.0-5

I am suggesting to build libstrophe with --enable-cares instead of with the 
fallback DNS code that it has by default. There is no new packaging work 
needed for this since c-ares is in Debian already. The advantage is faster 
and more secure DNS lookups, including DNS caching and also the possibility 
to do DNS lookups in a an nonblocking way which won't block the libstrophe 
event loop.

I will follow this with a patch to the package for acheiving this.
