The next papyon release (that will be released in the next few days) will add AFAIK support to one of the most requested MSN features: audio/video call. So IMHO we should use butterfly. I will request a FF exception, there are a lot of bug reports and brainstorm ideas asking for that feature, I think we should provide it in karmic in order to properly test it before karmic+1. I'm sorry if the release is not ready before FF but AFAIK there are still few (very few) things to do before releasing it.

Some (not all) links to show how many users want audio/video call support:

Regression in papyon compared to pidgin:
 - no OIMs support (upstream is working in order to get it working, it is already supported by papyon)
 - no file transfer (like telepathy-haze), but upstream is working on it too
