Seeing as the compile process isn't well documented, it's very confusing
for newcomers. If you'll also note, someone else asked if you could
provide some build instructions on your blog post to help compile it.

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!
