Yes, they will, even if you set the status to offline. This can be 
improved, to check if all the Published info has status offline, do not 
do the aggregation. But what if the published info is not from the same 
phone that is in a call?
We can not have a perfect dialog-presence translation. Just attempting 
to make it as good as possible, so I will implement this case - do not 
notify about dialog state if all the presence statuses are offline.
Maybe a good solution is what Ole said - to have per user options and 
for the user to configure if it wants this feature or not.
