Let's not get carried away here. We need to solve this in the context
of how KDE-Telepathy is going to fit into the KDE main modules once it
finally lands there.

telepathy-kde, which contains the library with all the code shared
amongst our applications will become a part of kdelibs (or a KDE
Framework or whatever kdelibs will be called by then). This means that
any of the rest of KDE-Telepathy *will* depend on it. Therefore it
will be a safe place to put anything which all or many of the other
components depend on. For the first release, I'd suggest putting stuff
in the contactlist temporarily since we have already decided that the
contact list will be a required component just in the first release.
