Hi Mark,

I did not think on a lib, a plugins and a pulse package, but only a lib 
and a pulse package.  The reason is that when you install libpt, you 
should not be forced to install also pulse.  However, it seems to me 
that libpulse0 is now mandatory by gnome-shell and gnome-control-center. 
  So it seems you are right, only one package (lib) is sufficient. 
Could you confirm please?
