Comment 2 for bug 273932

i think we should fix the applet to not display those as there is no distribution independent way to install plugin packages. However, if you want please open a new bug that asks the vpn packages to be recommended by network-manager. in that way you usually would get it installed when running apt-get install network-manager. However, to get this on CD we have to be sure that those packages are supported upstreawm and then we have to make them first class citizens in ubuntu by promoting them to main.
