Bug#566711: rhythmbox: split plugins to separate packages

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.6-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

when trying to upgrade rhythmbox on one box, it asked me to install
dvd+rw-tools while the box doesn't have a dvd burner. That's because one
plugin (the cd recorder one) brings libbrasero, which brings the
dvd+rw-tools. I find weird that the *lib* depends on some tools, but
anyway the real issue is that RB brings burn-related tools while initial
purpose is to play.

One way to fix this is to split the various plugins in separate
packages, so attached patch should help on that.

Cheers,

--
