[Bug 278153] Re: NetworkManager VPN plugins should be installed by default in ubuntu

[Mackenzie Morgan]

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!
