I agree. If a Telepathy contact is associated with a metacontact in 
Nepomuk/KPeople, the user won't need to change the nickname in the 
contact list anymore, since she can identify the person in the contact 
list by the metacontact's name.
Users need to be able to change the name of the metacontact, but not the 
name of the actual contact in Telepathy.
