<PRE>Hello!
Situation:
A package X may have support for a package Y, by a module as a build in
X or stand-alone package. All modules are possible to turn-on and to
turn-off in a menu of X.
And there is a discussion because there is no Y at all in Mageia.
Person A says:
- include the module, even if there is no Y in Mageia (and maybe never
will be included), because an end-user can install Y from alternative
source or compile it from sources; and don't add Suggests/Requires for Y
in the package, because it's obvious that this is to support Y; also
installing Y from alternative sources/self-compilation is much simpler
than reinstalling X with support for Y
Person B says:
- don't include the module, because Y is a dependency for the module of
X - and we don't ship broken packages that aren't self-contained; so it
must be excluded from X or the nobody has package Y and maintain it
Neither A nor B want to work with Y package.
Who is right?
</PRE>
