Bug Description

Empathy is undermaintained.

Upstream recommends that distros do not ship empathy 3.25.90 but instead ship 3.12.14. Specifically, there are some bugs in the new version that may take months before they are fixed.

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/distributor-list/2017-September/msg00000.html

(3.25.90 was released ~10 days before 3.12.14 was and ~2 weeks before that announcement. We wanted a new empathy release to move to webkit2.)

Therefore, we should use a 3.25.90+really3.12.14 version for empathy for Ubuntu 17.10.
