Just so everyone knows, this has been completed quite some time ago via
a bounty developer on FreedomSponsors.

However, upstream is furiously continuing to ignore the patch and keep their users insecure.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Hello, 
  I just tried empathy (the Intrepid version) and it looked very solid and stable. There were a few minor things that could be improved (e.g. automatically resizing the contact list), but that is not the topic here.
  The reason why I won't switch to empathy from pidgin is the missing OTR support (http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ). This is a really important feature because no one should read your messages.
  There were others with the same idea (links at the bottom).
  Would be so great if it could support that important encryption standard.
  Thanks for helping out!
