Option three: use the newly released[1] folks 0.6.6. :-) Great to see
how fast the folks team released this fix!

I created a ppa[2] that contains the fixed libfolks. It showed that I
also had to rebuild Oneiric’s telepathy-glib using valac 0.14, due to a
bug[3].

So I think we now have the prerequisites in place to actually start
hacking! Yeah!

Feel free to experiment with libfolks and the lens. To avoid unnecessary
extra work, I’d just recommend you let us others know on the list when
you start working on specific features.
