Package: openvpn Version: 2.1.3-1 Severity: wishlist The idea is to split the openvpn package into a openvpn-core package (essentially the openvpn binary) and an openvpn package (the remaining parts). Rationale is that often only the openvpn binary is needed in an installation, primary example would be the network-manager-openvpn package, which could then depend on openvpn-core. The example files don't work with the NetworkManager plugin, the init file isn't needed (and even shows up in systemctl as failed, because of the non-zero exit status when unused), the headers aren't needed.
This type of split is quite common, see e.g. the split of mysql-server-5.1 into mysql-server-core-5.1 and mysql-server-5.1, where mysql-server-core-5.1 only contains the binary. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-rc6-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openvpn depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii liblzo2-2 2.03-2 data compression library ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpkcs11-helper1 1.07-1 library that simplifies the intera ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-2 SSL shared libraries ii net-tools 1.60-23 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii openssl-blacklist 0.5-2 list of blacklisted OpenSSL RSA ke ii openvpn-blacklist 0.4 list of blacklisted OpenVPN RSA sh openvpn recommends no packages.
