For what it's worth, my view is that DND status in presence is a
published clue to people that can see your presence.  A DND function on
a phone is an instruction to the phone to not notify the user of
incoming calls (and perhaps to provide a not-available status to the
caller).  These two functions are logically separate.

For example, I might set DND status while in a meeting of some kind, as
a clue to teammates, while allowing the phone to ring (to be able to
receive urgent calls from other people).

It would be good to have linphone have a DND setting for calls, similar
to such a function on an analog phone (ringer volume to zero) or
hardphone.  Right now I'd just quit it to make this work.
