I don't think it's worth it. The initial implementation in empathy will
probably just be to report this to the user in a nice way and optionally have a
button to start the package manager and have it check for any updates. If we
want to go a step further we can indeed map protocol/cm name to packages and
specially ask/check for updates of those (or its dependencies)..

This is vaguely related to the idea that empathy's account UI should show all
protocols we might potentially support and call a package manager if the user
selects one we don't have a CM installed for (like gstreamer can do for plugin
installation)
