           Summary: Gabble should prefer new aliases from vCards/PEP over
                    roster aliases which are just  the contact's JID
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: gabble

When you first add someone to your roster, Gabble tries to get their alias via
PEP, and then from their vCard, but ultimately gives up and sets their JID as
their alias on the roster so that it doesn't keep fetching their vCard every
time they connect.

This is all right and proper, but it subsequently trusts the roster alias
absolutely, even if it happens to receive a better alias from one of the other
methods. I think it should trust roster aliases equal to the contact's JID
below all other sources, but above no source.
