I have found that a lot of people are disappointed that telepathy-idle
is not installed by default when they try to move their IRC account from
pidgin to empathy.  I was thinking, something that may (or may not) work
for saving space on the LiveCD and stop users from complaining that
their spec isn't available by default would be to have empathy install
the connection managers (idle, butterfly, haze, etc...) upon request
when the user tries to create these accounts.  I assume the user will
have to have an internet connection when wanting to use empathy, so its
just the means of installing the small packages to get the connection
managers working.

Workflow would be:
-hi thank you for installing empathy, would you like to import accounts from 
pidgin?
-because you are trying to install (AIM,IRC,MSN) we need to install the 
connection managers, please click next to continue with this operation
-Importing accounts, please wait...

It may also work to remove the connection managers if nobody is using an
account with them anymore.
