Hi,

It took longer than I tough but there is now a libotr3 package in
staging. The major changes that afffects building against it is:

- the headers moved from /usr/include/libotr/ to /usr/include/libotr3/
- the library was renamed from libotr.so to libotr3.so

As a test, I tried rebuilding bitlbee against it and I only had to add
2 small sed lines to make it work. We can now finish this todo list.
