You could provide the interfaces on two busses for a while if a soft
upgrade path is important. But honestly I don't thing that would even
be necessary. Are there that many Telepathy clients on the normal
desktop these days? It's mostly empathy, right? So if you update
telepathy and empathy in one piece in most distros, things should be
fine, shouldn't they?
