I just noticed, that Python Jabber transports have been migrated this weekend to Google Code and first people started to contribute. I especially like the fact, that first contributors are Czech guys and they're fixing encoding problems :-).
Let's hope that this activity will also help to improve Debian package which is not really in good state, but I promised not to hijack it till the end of year ;-) (so for now I temporarily hack it in my repository).
PS: I know ICQ is evil, but I don't have enough power to force all my contacts to start using Jabber.
