Auto merge online contacts (e.g., from GTalk's XMPP) to impored VCF's

So, I read the 2 contact merge questions and am aware that it can be done manually. However, it would be nice if the Jolla could automatically merge the contacts that XMPP services such as Google Talk reports to a contact in the People application with the same ID (in this case email address).

My use case is this: I imported all my contacts from the N9, contacts which have email address and instant messaging address shouldn't be split so that I have to manually link them again.

EDIT: to clarify, my use case is importing from the VCF files that Harmattan, which come with the appropriate fields. Auto merging after that is arguable (the suggestion that is already implemented works well though). Basically, contacts in the VCF have already jabber fields but they aren't recognized in Sailfish somehow, so one has to do the merge again.

EDIT: greatly improved in 1.0.3.8, so closing. This question wasn't about magical linking/merging, but more by ID (email address, etc.).
