There's a fix actually, I've just not managed to take a closer look at
it, plus ther was some comment that it might not be complete yet. I've
asked for clarification since I might have misundestood this part:

Argh! I had no idea this was blocking other packages, sorry. :-( Well
it'd be easy to just omit the bitlbee-plugin-otr package from Debian for

Although omitting a single binary package is probably easier said than
done.

I have very little time for this stuff at the moment, sadly. :-(
