(Get the code!)
Alexander Sack said above that getting these into main and then default could
be difficult because they are not as actively developed as Network Manager
itself, so we could end up stuck with an old NM because of the plugins not
being caught up.
The alternative would be if someone could step up to maintain the plugins
packages and possibly hack them into shape so they work with new versions of
Network Manager more readily...that could be quite helpful in moving things
along. I don't have the skills to work on networking software, but if any of
you...?
I *think* it should be easier to get the command line VPN software moved to
main and installed by default in the short term, so it'll at least be *easier*
to get these plugins if you need to be connected to a VPN to apt-get the
plugins to get on the VPN to apt-get the plugins to get on the....yay
recursion!
