[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Packaging of strophejs plugins

[Martin]

Hi Marcelo, hi XMPP team,

I recently packaged strophejs-plugin-pubsub (#941144, currently
in NEW), because I need it for some crazy project :-)

Now it looks, like multiple strophejs plugins are worth packaging
(but not all, of course), some of them consisting of only few
lines of code. This is not nice, because every additional
package puts burden on our infrastructure, on our FTP masters,
and on all Debian users.

I wonder, whether it would be better to have only one source and
binary package "strophejs-plugins" which just consists of all
strophejs plugins we (= Debian) consider worth packaging.
Most plugins do not have a version anyway, therefore it is not a
problem, if we make up a meta-version (I suggest natural
numbers, starting with 1).
Also, AFAIK, dpkg does support multiple multiple upstream orig
files per package. I never used that feature, though.
I'm not sure, whether pristine-tar works with multiple archives.

If there are no objections, I'ld create this Chimaera, maybe
with only two or three plugins for the start.

Comments welcome!

Cheers
