[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Bug#963860: nginx-full: circular dependency hell

[Thomas Ward]

Downstream in Ubuntu where nvinx-core originated it is its own binary - not depended upon nginx-core.  The nginx dynamic modules are also "OR" depended - such that it needs one of the flavors installed not all of them.  Consider doing that to make the modules not have circular depends.Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note10+.
