Other libpurple backends are named pidgin-* (like pidgin-openfetion,
pidgin-skype and pidgin-librvp) and I don't see any libpurple backends
with other names. Perhaps these packages should be renamed though.

As a comment in debian/control or README.Debian. I wouldn't bother
filing a wontfix bug yourself.

I'd be interested to know if those are false positives in the tools it
runs or caused by it.
I wonder if libtgl should be packaged separately so that all the
Telegram clients could use it?
BTW, Telegram has a pretty terrible reputation amongst cryptographers,
personally I would switch to OTR or Signal/TextSecure if you can.
