Debian 7, currently in freeze, no longer has telepathy-python-based
connection managers (they don't work with current Empathy any more).
Unfortunately, the client side of telepathy-python is still used by
various Sugar components :-(

Connection managers can do this (and every other tp-py feature)
themselves, if necessary. It's a pretty small thing to do when compared
with all the other work you have to do to make a fully-working CM using
telepathy-python.

If you insist on using telepathy-python and want to add modern Telepathy
features to it, I would ask you to demonstrate those features working
correctly when prototyped in a connection manager anyway, before
considering a merge into telepathy-python.
