Is it okay to have the same source tarball for separate packages (gaim and gaim-meanwhile)? I think this would be frowned upon if not outright forbidde. If the meanwhile plugin is built from the gaim source package, that means the gaim source package would need a Build-Depends on libmeanwhile, and things in main can't depend on things in universe.
So, unless my understanding is incorrect, no, Ubuntu can't do that. -- gaim 2.0 missing Sametime protocol https://launchpad.net/bugs/58129 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
