Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Empathy in Lucid has a checkbox labelled "Use message indicators".
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8762380&postcount=791>
<http://patches.ubuntu.com/by-release/ubuntu/e/empathy/empathy_2.29.5.1-1ubuntu1.patch>

As David Siegel just remarked to me, "I bet my grandma would really like
to click that". It's not obvious what "message indicators" are, and even
if it were, it's not obvious what "Use" entails.

Instead, the label should be more self-explanatory: "Show incoming
messages in the messaging menu".

(This is an example of why we should avoid the term "indicator"
generally: inevitably it would leak into the user interface where users
wouldn't know what it is.)
