Would it possible to provide add-ons as separate packages / libraries?
For me this would look like a clean solution until the patches are
officialy accepted by the Gtk authors.
I see a bunch of improvements for the Gtk but I don't see ACK's
from the authors that the patches will be included in the next
release. I don't want to make the Debian packges incompatible
with the regular ones.
Thus, would it be possible to create libsomefeature-gtk or
libsomefeature-gtk1.1 (or similar) providing the add-on so users can
make use of it and dpkg-shlibeps would print out the correct dependency.
This would mean that the user would have to link against
libsomefeature-gtk until the patches got accepted upstream.
Would this be feasable?

Joey
