Bug#577075: (re)move support for libmobiledevice into a different package

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: gvfs-backends
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi.

So far gvfs-backends contained only (more or less) vendor-neutral stuff.
-CDDA stuff
-BT
-compressed archievs
-gphoto (which at least supports many vendors/products)
-SMB (ok MS, but it's at least a "standardised" net-fs)


Now with the dependencie on libmobiledevice0 we get the first
vendor/product specific dependency.
Although this is already very ugly (by far not everybody has any Apple
iCrap)
what really annoys is the indirect dependency on a deamon (usbmuxd),
which
itself is also iCrap-specific.

At least it seems that it only starts when iCrap is detected but
nevertheless,
I suggest to put such strongly vendor-dependent stuff into a separate
package, e.g. gvfs-extra-backends, or even single packages like
gvfs-apple

Cheers,
Chris.
