With all issues in comment #31 resolved, we are approaching another other big
issue: how to handle the server addons: their deps and in some cases also
licenses.

To decouple the thunderbird addon license, one obvious option is to package it
in in a sub-package. This seems reasonable from many aspects for me.

However, we also have all other addons and their deps. I know from experience
that using certain addons will break due to missing deps. So, we need to
somehow fix this. One could of course try to add all deps for all addons, but
this would pull in just to much for simple installations(?)

OTOH, creating a sub-package for each addon (150+) seems just not feasible. Or
is it? Seems that tryton (an OpenERP fork) is packaged this way in rawhide, 60+
packages.

Would it be possible to somehow group the addons based on functionality, deps
etc., into a more manageable set of sub-packages?

Basically, I have no idea of the best way to handle this...
