nsca used to depend on nagios-plugins, which is a rather dependency
heavy package. to close a number of bugs (and to make nagios-related
packages a little more useful) i split off the nagios-plugins
packages into two packages, one of which only having minimal
dependencies.
each plugin (check_foo) has a conffile like you see below:

so when some plugins moved from one package to the other, so did
their conffiles. so, this would be appropriate, then, correct?

if you feel there is a genuine problem, then i'd be happy to see it,
though i'd need some concrete recommendations on what you think should
be done to resolve the problem.
