Jedna Dvatři, I am willing to push forward on OTR again if need be. First I am going to try to reach out to Jprvita one more time.
This is what I know right now which is rather out dated and it does show that according to his time-line it should be done, but deadlines can be hard when dealing with so many peices of code that need to be implemented.

But I am also pretty sure that the code for Telepathy.Gabble was completed to support OTR. I think he was bogged down when he started trying to integrate it into Empathy.

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!
