patch

I'm not surprised automake-1.11 doesn't like libtelepathy; neither do we :-P

libtelepathy is a heavily deprecated predecessor of telepathy-glib, and while your patch looks fine, I hope not to make any more libtelepathy releases, which would mean it'll never get into a release. What pieces of software still need it, and can we help them not to?

We've successfully got rid of Mission Control 4 and libtelepathy from Debian testing/unstable (<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=558144>) and from Ubuntu >= karmic, and I'd encourage other distributions to act similarly; Mission Control 5 and telepathy-glib are the recommended replacements.

Then jhbuild has old depedencies

(sid)elmarco@marc-desktop:~$ jhbuild rdepends libtelepathy
telepathy-mission-control 
empathy 
nautilus-sendto 
gnome-bluetooth 
gnome-user-share 
phonemgr 
empathy-webkit 

Do you think all those projects use telepathy-glib?

telepathy-mission-control >= 5 and Empathy >= 2.28 no longer need libtelepathy. I hope that the other projects just pick up the libtelepathy dependency transitively from old versions of Empathy (which in turn pick it up from version 4 of MC).

All of those packages exist in Debian squeeze, except possibly phonemgr (which I suspect just has a different name there), without needing libtelepathy.
