Not easily and I have no idea what other packages in the telepathy
stack might need to change. Does it affect telepathy-salut too? At the
moment it's probably too late to fix it in Fedora 22 without a chunk
of work that I don't have time for between now and F-22 GA. Has
someone got a patch we can add to sugar* for *Tubes support?
