Comment(by deryni):

 Yes, that is what the alias is for.

 I do not think automatically grouping based on the buddy name is a good
 idea. For example, AIM and Yahoo names are indistinguishable, but there is
 no guarantee that users with the same AIM and Yahoo names are the same
 person.

 I have no idea why pidgin would ask you to group buddies with the same
 empty alias. Are you sure the alias was empty (and not defaulting to the
 username)?
