That's not the same library (sorry about the naming, I hadn't realised
telepathy-qt was also for Qt 4 when telepathy-qt4 started). This one can be
used as a replacement for both telepathy-qt and tapioca-qt (i.e. low *and*
high level interfaces - the low-level stuff is auto-generated from
telepathy-spec and not very exciting, and all the development effort goes into
wrapping that with high-level APIs like in Tapioca).
It's from the same team as telepathy-glib, using many of the same
design ideas (I'm one of the maintainers of both telepathy-glib and
telepathy-qt4; my co-maintainer on telepathy-qt4 previously worked on Tapioca).
George Grundleborg has blogged about its use in KDE and its advantages over
the combination of telepathy-qt and tapioca-qt:

I'd prefer to maintain it in pkg-telepathy rather than as a Qt/KDE package,
since I don't actually use KDE myself (don't panic, the other maintainers do!),
and the pkg-telepathy team works very closely with Telepathy upstream due to
being basically the same people :-)
