imho we have way to many of those "fat pull in all dependencies" packages.
True, that's why I am skipping the dependencies in this special case.
what happens in your jabber package if the required library for a plugin isnt found?
You get an error message saying exactly that.
I think that's acceptable, because you have to go through a number of config files when setting up jabberd anyways, and when you decide to use database X as your storage backend you most probably have the respective library package installed already, because for most databases you also need the command line client (which in turn depends on the library) to initialize the database before jabberd can use them.
It is anyway not really good, when jabberd is the only exception where the user has to manually find that out while all other packages are package in a different way, where this is not needed.
