To follow this suggestion would be problematic.

And I say problematic because this would add a significant delta.

The core flavor of NGINX, back in the 14.04 cycle, was a flavor of NGINX
with the same module set as the full flavor but without third party
modules in it, to satisfy the Security team's concerns for the MIR.

To meet the specs that this feature request needs, this flavor name
needs to change.

This also would need an additional core package for each individual
flavor of NGINX (light, full, extras) with a core package that doesnt
depend on -common because each flavor differs in module set and the
binaries differ because of those module sets (compiled in and not
dynamically includeable).  This isnt just one package with one binary
that's equivalent across all flavors of nginx package we install, this
is multiple flavors of the binary with different module sets resulting
in different nginx binaries for each flavor.

Either method I see for doing this would make us permanently divergent
from Debian to the point we can no longer merge from them and would make
maintaining this more difficult because of the additional complexity
added into the builds.

Robie, I can discuss more about this on IRC after I get to work, the
discussion on this further will take up pages of text - not just a bug
response.
