We try to avoid packaging libraries "for the sake of it", as they rarely
get the care and attention they need when not actively in use by anyone
or anything. Is there anything using Npgsql which would necessitate this
standalone version?

If the API/ABI is compatible, we're not averse to doing things like this
- we use our own NUnit rather than Mono's bundled one, for example. But
if it's not API/ABI compatible, we can't remove the Mono bundled version
- and would need multiple versions together.

That's likely the best solution.

Regardless, this isn't something which will get any attention for
Squeeze.
