I am searching Ubuntu Software Center for the search query "irc" (three letters, no quotes.) A user who is looking for a way to use IRC is likely to try that search, and Empathy plus account-plugin-irc is a good answer for them, perhaps the best answer for them. Therefore that answer should show up in that search -- either in the form of the empathy package itself or the account-plugin-irc package. Neither package does.
I filed this bug against empathy because empathy's and account-plugin-irc's package metadata control how they are found in Software Center. (Both come from the empathy source package.)
