+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Hello!
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Situation:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> A package X may have support for a package Y, by a module as a build in
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> X or stand-alone package. All modules are possible to turn-on and to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> turn-off in a menu of X.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> And there is a discussion because there is no Y at all in Mageia.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Person A says:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - include the module, even if there is no Y in Mageia (and maybe never
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> will be included), because an end-user can install Y from alternative
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> source or compile it from sources; and don't add Suggests/Requires for Y
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> in the package, because it's obvious that this is to support Y; also
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> installing Y from alternative sources/self-compilation is much simpler
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> than reinstalling X with support for Y
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Person B says:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - don't include the module, because Y is a dependency for the module of
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> X - and we don't ship broken packages that aren't self-contained; so it
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> must be excluded from X or the nobody has package Y and maintain it
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Neither A nor B want to work with Y package.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Who is right?
+</I>&gt;<i> imho, if Y is wanted by some people, and X works more of less fine without Y
+</I>&gt;<i> even if it's support is compiled, and sometimes a get-Y package is fine.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> imho it's maintainer's preference, if maintainer is fine to also &quot;support the
+</I>&gt;<i> Y-module for X&quot; even if depends on Y and Y is not allowed in mageia, or even
+</I>&gt;<i> if Y is in nonfree... it's fine by me.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> let's get into specifics:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Well here there is no nonfree, demo, shareware, license issue. Just Y is
+yet another media-player. Importing Y is not a case for neiher A nor B.
+There is a question to include or not include a module (as an external
+package %{name}-module-mediaplayer_Y) for X. X is working perfectly
+without Y - Y is just adding some extra features. But the module for X
+is NOT working without Y. Well it's probably not breaking X, there will
+be an error message &quot;error loading module-mediaplayer_Y&quot;.
