What is the user experience here? Not like users being expected to do
something "a bit like" setting up bitlbee, one hopes? :)

If I've got this shiny new Matrix-replaces-Telepathy GNOME system, and
I want to add a new account with a new protocol... what do I need to
do? Let's assume I've just installed the appropriate distro package,
and want to take it from there. (Although do feel free to talk about
how it auto-installs the correct protocol package on demand, if you
prefer).
