Package: claws-mail-html2-viewer
Version: 3.7.1-1
Severity: wishlist
This package, along with some other plugins, presumably also from
claws-mail-extra-plugins, is often left out of sync with claws-mail when
it gets upgraded in unstable. claws-mail won't load plugins with a
different version number so I'm unable to use the plugins for a while
unless I downgrade to an older version of claws-mail.
Please could you change the dependencies so that the plugins will only
install alongside the same version of claws-mail rather than same or
newer, then apt will hold back claws-mail for me until the plugins I use
are ready.

Often? It happens when, like this time, new plugins are added and the
extra-plugins package get stuck in NEW queue for some time. I cannot avoid
that.

That's already explained in README.Debian (have you read it?) and is not
possible, as it would break binNMU-ability of packages (required to be
able to do library transitions without trouble) and also would require an
unnecessary upload of extra-plugins which each claws-mail upload.
