I suggest we should create two binary:
 - cacti which do not have plugin-architecture
 - cacti-pia which have plugin architecture (with pathces?) have
"Replace: cacti" in debian/control

to do so, we must declare build process twice and it's pretty difficult.
I think if we include plugin-architecture in normal cacti packages it
not good idea

Current debian/rules are located in here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-cacti/cacti.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;hb=HEAD

what your suggest? patch welcome
