Bug#613423: gnome-desktop-environment depends on empathy, should offer alternative

Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 1:2.30+7
Severity: minor

gnome-desktop-environment currently depends on empathy IM client, but it offers
a choice in remote desktop clients:
remmina | vinagre

so, logically, it should allow:
empathy | pidgin

as it seems to me that more people use pidgin anyway and don't need to keep
empathy installed.
