I was able to build libgadu successfully with libprotobuf-c-dev added to
Build-Depends and it picked up the system provided copy of libprotobuf-c
automatically.  I don't have a Gadu-Gadu account so I was unable to test
the libgadu binary built this way, unfortunately.  It did pass the test
suite, FWIW.

I looked over the changes to libgadu's convenience copy of protobuf-c.c
and I *believe* that all the changes are relatively minor (fixing up
warnings due to libgadu compiling with more -W flags, replacing
C++-style comments with C89-compatible comments, etc.), or, at least,
they don't change any of the semantics of the protobuf-c library.  There
might be some changes from libgadu that we might want to rebase and
apply to upstream libprotobuf-c, but it doesn't look like anything will
break if libgadu is built against the system's protobuf-c.
