OK, thanks.  Empathy is installed in Debian 10 here but still fails 
to recognize the contact list.  

Also https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Empathy has this sentence.
"Empathy is currently no longer in development (see also Attic/Unmaintained)."

In gnome-contacts-list@gnome.org was a comment that Empathy is being removed 
from GNOME but I can't offer a reference for that.  gnome-contacts-list is no 
longer listed in https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo .

Conclusion: no VoIP application is working in Debian 10 here.  New information 
is welcome of course.
