PS won't return Telepathy objects but buddies and activities as it
always did. The {Buddy,Activity}Views returned in Telepathy won't be the
same as the one returned by PS. In the TP case, views contains handles,
in the PS case they contains buddy and activity objects (as when
GetBuddies or GetActivities methods are called on PS).
