OK, then I'd like to propose the following packaging for Debian :

phpgroupware = phpgroupware-core + addressbook, calendar, notes, and email
where :
phpgroupware-core = phpgwapi, setup, admin and preferences

Then there would be the option of installing only the 'application
server', i.e. only an empty placefolder to add custom applications, by
installing phpgroupware-core.

But one could for instance also install 'phpgroupware', which would
install the basic groupware apps.

phpgroupware-core would recommend phpgroupware, but without making it
mandatory.

This should help have something more manageable for the packager, in
case of security issues on the API+stuff without caring for maintenance
of the rest of the individual apps, IMHO.

One consequence is that we may base the packaging on two different set
of source packages, : phpgroupware-core and phpgroupware-groupware-apps
(or any other name meaning : addressbook, calendar, notes, and email)
maybe, in which we woud have splitted your sources. This would help
manage the security fix releases on one of each packages independently,
maybe.

What do you think ?
