** Description changed:

  The current version of bitlbee, bitlbee-common, and bitlbee-plugin-otr
  in 14.04 is 3.2.1+otr4-1.  In this version, there are numerous problems
  in the OTR negotiation phase.  These problems have been fixed in the
  nightlies for bitlbee.  Relevant tickets are:
  
  http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/1109
  http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/1110
+ 
+ 
+ [Impact] 
+ 
+ - BitlBee crashes when sending messages to contacts with no previous otr
+ context (offline contacts, or contacts that weren't talked to before)
+ 
+ - BitlBee silently drops all unmodified messages when opportunistic otr
+ is enabled, which is the default mode
+ 
+ - Receiving a /me from a remote contact crashes BitlBee.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ - Start bitlbee daemon, connect with irc client, type "add jabber
+ username@domain password" with appropriate login details
+ 
+ And then either:
+ 
+ - Find an offline contact, send two messages, watch it crash (will
+ appear as a disconnection from the server in the irc client)
+ 
+ - Do "set otr_policy manual" and send messages to an online contact. Ask
+ the contact if they received anything.
+ 
+ - Keep otr_policy in the default value (or reset it with "set otr_policy
+ opportunistic"), and send two messages to an online contact. Ask the
+ contact if both of them were received.
+ 
+ - Ask the contact to send a "/me"-equivalent action, watch it crash
