In regards to my previous comment. I discovered enable-otr is in
/src/connection.c, once you get the right branch...

git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~smcv/telepathy-gabble
git checkout untested-otr

I also tried setting the default "FALSE" option to "TRUE". Still OTR
doesn't work for me, perhaps empathy also needs to be patched (instead
of just gabble). However Xaivers empathy branch no longer runs properly
on my system due to changes in gtk, so I am unable to test the older
version.

So, that's as far as I made it.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Hello, 
  I just tried empathy (the Intrepid version) and it looked very solid and 
stable. There were a few minor things that could be improved (e.g. 
automatically resizing the contact list), but that is not the topic here.
  The reason why I won't switch to empathy from pidgin is the missing OTR 
support (http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ). This is a really important feature 
because no one should read your messages.
  There were others with the same idea (links at the bottom).
  Would be so great if it could support that important encryption standard.
  Thanks for helping out!
