Binary package hint: empathy

When Empathy is set to "Away," Facebook should be "Idle." I googled the problem, and several people say that Facebook Chat has limitations that won't allow you to set it to Idle. But at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/ it says under the "Features and Limitations" Section (fifth bullet) that you can set the status to idle using its API. I'm not a programmer, and this may be posted in the wrong place, but is this a solution? If not, Facebook should be set to offline when Empathy is "Away."
