Yes that what should be done. If I'm not wrong, in Debian itself there are only two reverse dependencies which would need an update. One is nagios-plugin-contrib which already has a patch to use Nagios::Plugin, so this patch can just be dropped when libmonitoring-plugin-perl enters unstable. The other is nagios-plugin-rabbitmq, which would need to be patched. > Did this for my nagi^W monitoring checks using a preliminary packaging > of Monitoring::Plugins.

It was my plan to prepare the package soon an then other stuff got in the way :( Regards, Salvatore
