[Pkg-cairo-dock-devel] all cairo-dock plugins depend on cairo-dock package, should it be cairo-dock-core now?

Hi Debian Maintainers,

first thank you for maintaining cairo-dock packages. I use it for long 
time now and it's quite hard to be separated :D.

But as 2.1.3.10-1 is out, all plugins depend on package "cairo-dock", 
which pulls package "cairo-dock-plugins", which pulls *all* the plugins 
and each one pulls many many dependencies, most of these plugins and 
dependencies are unuseful in my case. As I really do not want to install 
all these dependencies I have uninstalled all cairo-dock's stuff, so I 
can't use a report bug.

Maybe the "depends on" tag for the plugins should be cairo-dock-core 
rather than "cairo-dock"? That way it could be possible again to choose 
exactly which plugin has to be installed to fit the user needs.

This action would also close bug #583144 about circular dependencies.

Best regards
seb
