--- Comment #16 from Dan Williams <dcbw@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
The correct way to package NM VPN plugins and their daemons is this:

1) the VPN package itself; does not depend on NEtworkManager or consume any
NetworkManager libraries like libnm-glib or libnm-util.  eg, the "vpnc",
"openconnect", "openvpn", etc packages

2) the NetworkManager VPN plugin itself: eg, the thing that NM talks to via
dbus to start/stop the VPN connection, and any associated components.  But
*not* any GUI components.  eg, /usr/libexec/nm-vpnc-service and
/usr/libexec/nm-vpnc-service-vpnc-helper and
/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-vpnc-service.name and any translation files for the
core plugin.

3) the GNOME desktop GUI pieces, like the auth dialog and connection editor
pane, and associated translations for the GUI parts.

I realize the existing plugins are not separated like 2 & 3, but we want to do
that in the future.  So new plugins should follow that separation.

For consistency, #2 should be named "NetworkManager-<vpn service>" (ie,
NetworkManager-strongswan) and #3 should be named "NetworkManager-<vpn
service>-gnome" (ie, NetworkManager-strongswan-gnome).
