[Bug 1048024] [NEW] nothing from Empathy shows up in "irc" search in Software Center

[Greg Price]

Public bug reported:

A user who wants to use IRC should be able to find Empathy as a way to
do so. Unfortunately, searching in Ubuntu Software Center for "irc"
doesn't return anything that leads to Empathy.

The first result is some client called "tekka" (which crashes on
startup); Konversation and Pidgin also make the list, among many others.
There is no Empathy, or telepathy-idle (which the Empathy help tells me
I need to use IRC in Empathy), or account-plugin-irc (which is from the
empathy source package, and which people tell me to install to use IRC
in Empathy.)

I'm not sure how Software Center search works, but I expect a suitable
tweak to the package metadata would fix the issue.

I'm on 12.10 with empathy version 3.5.91-0ubuntu2.
