Now, rp-pppoe's /etc/ppp/plugins/rp-pppoe.so and ppp-2.4.4's /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/rp-pppoe.so are doing the same thing, only the rp-pppoe version should be a bit newer and better. I dont have a clear overview of what the differences are (the ppp one is an older fork of the rp-pppoe version), but I could make a diff and check for obvious things if needed.
That's what I thought. My impression was that the ppp project is mostly dead, but its sources were imported into a git[1] last year and there was active development. Nothing was ever released though.
Anyway, putting a plugin into /etc/ is stupid regardless of why it is being done.
