Package: nagios-plugins
Version: 1.5-3
Severity: wishlist

There is a new upstream release (2.0) available for the nagios plugins.
See: http://nagios-plugins.org/

Please update the package to include the new upstream release and also update
the Homepage field to point to the new upstream homepage (stated above).

That's not upstream. That's the (hijacked) fork by Nagios Enterprises being the domain and trademark owner, but not being the original development team.

Probably you should dig a bit into history, like [0] or [1] or [2]

The original upstream was required to be renamed to http://www.monitoring-plugins.org which provides the *trusted* upgrade path for the sources built into debian binary packages. I'd call that upstream, but ask Jan, he'll know better who to trust.

Some further discussion was already here [3] introducing a rename to monitoring-plugins while still providing a clean, trusted upgrade path to all existing users (which I am and I also do care for the Icinga community).

'nagios-plugins-2,0' should probably get a new package named 'nagios-enterprises-plugins' or 'nagios-core-plugins' as already suggested in other distribution bug reports.
