I don't think that (and the corresponding source upload) is needed,
since the main libotr binary package was renamed from Wheezy to Jessie
(libotr2 -> libotr5), so the only remaining problematic partial
upgrade case is wheezy+backports to Jessie, and I intend to upload the
latest libotr to wheezy-backports in the next few days (as per Julien
Cristau's suggestion) to avoid similar issues for pidgin-otr.
Anyway, if we do that, for future-proofness you'll want to make sure
that the manually added versioned dependency doesn't interfere badly
with ${shlibs:Depends} in case that one returns a dependency on
a newer version of libotr.
Also, it would be good if someone tried current libotr (backported to
Wheezy) + wheezy-backports' irssi-plugin-otr. I'd hate to break that
one when I upload the backport.
