there is a blueprint for this:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-lucid-empathy-indicator
its blocked due to two upstream bugs:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25513
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25236
so no change for this to get into lucid I guess :(
