Public bug reported:

Empathy is undermaintained.

Upstream recommends that distros do not ship empathy 3.25.90 but instead
ship 3.12.14. Specifically, there are some bugs in the new version that
may take months before they are fixed.

list/2017-September/msg00000.html

(3.25.90 was released ~10 days before 3.12.14 was and ~2 weeks before
that announcement. We wanted a new empathy release to move to webkit2.)

Therefore, we should use a 3.25.90+really3.12.14 version for empathy for
Ubuntu 17.10.
