Turns out applying the patch goes fine, but it doesn't compile, I had to backport another change to make it actually build. The resulting .deb is too big to attach to this thread, but I have uploaded it here: http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/har...nmu1_armel.deb EDIT: You need aegis-dpkg or a similar hack to install it, as telepathy-gabble is a system package.
