     eventually replace telepathy-mission-control. It's basically a rewrite of
     MC 4, and is incompatible but parallel-installable, so I've packaged it
     from scratch.
+  * Don't package libmcclient headers, development symlink or docs, but just
+    bundle the shared library (which has -release versioning) with the daemon:
+    it's not ABI-stable, and shouldn't be used in mainstream distributions
+    (use telepathy-glib instead). The shared library has to remain shared,
+    since it has symbols that collide with the daemon itself (albeit with the
+    same implementations; this is in the process of being fixed upstream).
+  * Don't package mc-account-convert, since it's the only thing in this
+    package that needs gconf, and Empathy will probably ship its own
+    MC 4 to MC 5 converter (perhaps based on mc-account-convert).
