Yes, that is the standard Debian package for the GNOME client for Ring, written with the Clutter toolkit. It should just work like running a non-native app under another WM/DE (e.g. like running GTK apps under KDE). The UI may not be optimised for touch input. The Debian APT repositories already have some packages designed for mobile devices, whilst others may scale naturally for touch input. Those that haven't been optimised should at least work well with a stylus. Additionally, Pavel created tmouse to help make other apps usable.

Having said that, I do agree with you, a Telepathy plugin be best but at least we have something that should be usable in the meantime.
