Bug Description

Binary package hint: mcollective

The package name mcollective-server is confusing as it actually refers to mcollective middleware.

According to the mcollective terminology [1]:

Server
The mcollective daemon, an app server for hosting Agents and managing the connection to your Middleware.

[1]: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/terminology.html

This is what the mcollective package provides.

The mcollective-server package actually refers to the mcollective middleware:

Middleware
A publish subscribe based system like Apache ActiveMQ.

I'd suggest to:
 * rename the mcollective-server package to mcollective-middleware.
 * remove the dependency on mcollective (as both are unrelated components).
 * package the rabbitmq stomp plugin (which is not available in the current version of rabbitmq in natty).

This bug was fixed in the package mcollective - 1.0.1-0ubuntu2

---------------
mcollective (1.0.1-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/mcollective.triggers, debian/mcollective.postinst: install dpkg
    trigger to watch mcollective plugins directory. The trigger will restart
    mcollective daemon when a new plugin is installed.
  * Rename mcollective-server package to mcollective-middleware to follow
    upstream naming convention. (LP: #722463)
  * Don't install mcollective as part of mcollective-middleware since the
    mcollective server is not required to run the mcollective middleware.
