Public bug reported:

We would like to disable (at buildtime) telepathy support in gnome-
contacts


Feature Freeze Justification
----------------------------
Telepathy support is largely being deprecated in GNOME. Gnome-contacts is one 
of few GNOME modules still using it. It has been disabled in 
gnome-online-accounts (and will be completely removed from GOA next cycle[1]).

With the GOA provider gone it is less useful since you won't get
contacts from telepathy clients and you can't make calls. presumably the
chat still works though if manually configured.

Debian is considering disabling it this cycle.
Upstream will consider it next cycle

gnome-contacts is not seeded on any flavors, other than the vanilla-
gnome-desktop.

gnome-contacts is currently the only thing pulling in telepathy and all
its deps when installing vanilla-gnome-desktop.
