I wanted to say, if you want user to use all plugin (function), it
puts all functions in cairo-dock.
This is an example of the "one" of the implementation methods.
Because you can let a user use all functions forcibly from a beginning
when you used this method.;-)

This is really effective for a user knowing nothing.
However, I do not want to offer the package *only* for the user who
really knows nothing.

Yes, But I want to set Suggests or Recommends to cairo-dock-plug-ins.
I understand that plugin is important, but think this not to be
important so as to set it in *Depends*.
Because all plug in is because they are not necessary for movement. (I
think if cairo-dock-cairo-penguin-plugin is not installed, the user is
not troubled.)

There is not a user so that installation becomes simple.

And If user want to cairo-dock and cairo-dock all plugin, user do
"apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins".
or "aptiude install cairo-dock".
aptitude installs a package set by Suggests and Recommends.
The recent user uses aptitude which is easier than apt.

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
