Well, unless I'm misunderstanding you, you don't have to type these
out. If you subclass an object, its method decorators are still around
on overridden methods. For example:

    class MyFirstObserver(telepathy._generated.ClientObserver):

       # oh look, no @dbus.service.method, because it already was
       # declared in the parent class.
       def ObserveChannels(self, account, connection, cahnnels,
                           dispatch_operation, requests_satisfied,
                           observer_info):
           # misc

It would be nicer to import ClientObserver into tp.client as Observer
and maybe add some helper methods, instead of importing from
_generated.
