Hi,

Yes, we understand that it can be interesting to split each plug-in and to have one package for one applet but we (the upstream) discourage to do that. Some plug-ins are needed to launch some other one (e.g.: DBus and all externals applets, Gnome applet, etc.).
It's just like Compiz: there is a core package and its library and theres are a lot of plug-ins. Of course you can uninstall some plug-ins but it's highly not recommended because some plug-ins are needed by some other one... And there is no packages for each plug-in... It's just what the upstream want to have :)
And if the user want to absolutely remove a few plug-ins he can also do it with a 'rm' command... But just like splitting each plug-in in a lot of packages, we don't recommend to do that :-/

  Binary package hint: cairo-dock-plug-ins

  Hi,

  After syncing cairo-dock-plugin package from debian, we now have two
  time the same source in the archive. Please work with Debian to be
  able to merge the 2 packages, and have it only once.

  Thanks,
