*ehem* you might want to re-check it, but don't use the version from
stable. Actually don't use the Debian version from unstable, but get it
directly from micq.org - it's usually better, and you can try out a CVS
snapshoot for bleeding edge stuff.
Though mICQ is currently ICQ-only, it has some features not available in
other ICQ clients, including the best client detection, support for UTF-8
messages and input (only sim / Kopete claim to be able to understand those,
however, they actually don't and display only garbage when receiving such a
message), and a command to peek whether someone is offline or just hiding.
It also has better debugging capabilities than any other ICQ client.
However, if you're in need of MSN/Yahoo/AIM/other protocols, those aren't
supported... :-/
