Comment 30 for bug 657564

well as you can see on the Debian packages site, the plug-ins depend on XFCE
and Gnome
we already said many times that this is wrong (the dock does not need any
desktop dependencies, at all)
cairo-dock is desktop -agnostic, and that's done through integration
plug-ins that are dynamically loaded, or not, at run time.

I'm not against having a common package (although I dislike the multitude of
packages for each plug-in, especially when some plug-ins are necessary to
get a correct user experience).
but then the Debian packager needs to upgrade to 2.4 and to listen to the
devs.
