I'll ship it without memphis support. BTW do you use post release
incrementing or pre release? Because the version on the 0.6 branch is
still 0.6.0

Nope, libchamplain as it is now isn't an official part of a GNOME
release but only an external dependency of Empathy and ships whatever
the empathy devs use.
I think an email to desktop-devel-list should be enough to request
inclusion of a newer release (it can't be made an official part of
GNOME for this release as we're past module freeze
<http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone>), so you have to push
empathy devs...
