Package: echoping
Version: 5.2.0-2.1
Severity: wishlist

echoping 6 is out:

http://echoping.sourceforge.net/

But it is more complicated to package since it now introduces dynamic
plugins. Several plugins are shipped with echoping, for instance the
PostgreSQL one. It is probably not wise to make echoping depend on
PostgreSQL Debian package. 

Possible solutions:

* one package per plugin, which would create many very small packages
  (xmms does it, apparently),

* only one package but with Recommends instead (xmms worked that way
  before, in sarge)

Also, in order to enable plugin compilation on the machine where the
package is installed, it could be a good idea to install echoping.h
and compilation.h somewhere.
