thanks for the patch!

But why does this bug not have RC severity? The fix is simple and
non-intrusive. I'm sure you'll get a release exception for it.

In fact gajim doesn't just phone home after first startup but it does so 30
seconds [1] after every startup! You can convince yourself by starting gajim
like this:

$ gajim --loglevel gajim.plugin_system=DEBUG
02/12/2017 08:31:20 (D) gajim.plugin_system Attributes processing started
[... 30 seconds pass ...]
02/12/2017 08:31:50 (D) gajim.plugin_system 
PluginInstallerPlugin.check_update() <entered>
02/12/2017 08:31:50 (D) gajim.plugin_system Fetching 
https://ftp.gajim.org/plugins_0.16_zip/manifests.zip
02/12/2017 08:31:50 (D) gajim.plugin_system 
PluginInstallerPlugin.check_update() <left>

It is easy for the user to disable this by disabling the plugin_installer
plugin but the user probably will only get to doing this *after* gajim already
contacted that ftp server and informed the user.

If you don't have time for an upload, I'll gladly do an NMU for you!

Thanks!

cheers, josch
