These are the options Sean Perry (my sponsor) and I have come up with:
- remove xmms from the dependency list and move it to suggests (which
is not handled by apt)
i think this would be the best option.
my concern here, as I told Till, was that he would be shipping a package which
would fail for some people right out of the box.
Debian has long had a tradition that once a package was installed it was fully
functioning.
It is fully functioning. That particular plugin, and in fact all
plugins are disabled by default. But Till, I think, a pop-up message
should be created for the "Now Listening" plugin which tells the user
that they need xmms or noatun installed.
And Till, your package works great so far. Thanks!
