empathy without also uninstalling the gnome metapackages, the trick is
to mark all the contents of the packages as manually installed,
therefore you can uninstall the metapackage safely.

Unfortunately this does not appear to have solved it after all- after
running both apt-get install on the packages empathy wanted to remove
(gnome, gnome-core, gnome-desktop-environment, task-gnome-desktop) and
apt-mark manual, attempting to purge empathy tries to remove these
