The .service files for libpurple aren't necessary. Their only purpose is to
autostart an application if nothing is listening in a particular namespace. We
can't autostart something, because there's no way for us to know which client
the user wants. If we end up with Pidgin or Finch DBus stuff later, we can
use .service files for those if we want autostart functionality.
