Comment 95 for bug 388898

Kevin,

I mentioned this to some people before, but I don't have the skills
myself to write something like this, and I think it would benefit the
CD size too.

Just like using the music/video programs will tell you that you need a
codec and it will download it for you. I imagine doing something like
this for the telepathy connection managers (butterfly,haze,idle,
etc..) would take space off of the CD for other more important things.
 Maybe also resolve bugs in which someones CM isn't installed by
default with empathy.

Workflow:
-user installs empathy or creates new account
-code recognizes that user doesn't have telepathy-* and asks the user
to download applicable ones.
-upon removal of account package manager recognizes it's not used
anymore and upon next autoremove will delete the package.
