The sql plugin [1] is a configuration backend based on SQL databases.
The mysql/sqlite plugins are database drivers/interfaces, of which at
least one is required to use the sql plugin (or the attr-sql plugin [2]
for that matter).

I assume separate packages e.g. libstrongswan-mysql and
libstrongswan-sqlite that provide those backends would make sense.  The
sql/attr-sql plugin could still be provided by the default package
without dependencies on any specific SQL implementation/library.

Keeping those dependencies from build-dep might be tricky though.  Or
wouldn't that require a separate source package?

Tobias
