Package: nagios-nrpe-server
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

I know this is not really the right place to moan about the 
nagios-plugin package, but the problem affects this package also.

The nagios-plugins package depends on the far too many things, i.e. 
Apache and the Nagios server. Considering that the main point of 
installing NRPE is to do so on remote non-Nagios boxes, this is not 
good.

Eventually (although this has not happened for over a year) the 
nagios-plugins package may well be split into less dependent chunks.

The only other solution I can think of is to mark the nagios-plugins as 
a "recommended" dependency, with a note about this in the documentation. 
This at least leaves the user a choice to copy the plugins (as I have 
done) manually from the Nagios server machine.
