The three main Nagios plugin packages in Debian are:

- nagios-plugins
- nagios-plugins-basic
- nagios-plugins-standard

It would be useful if nagios-snmp-plugins were renamed nagios-plugins-snmp for
consistency. I recently wasted a little time by searching for nagios-plugins-*
trying to find the SNMP plugins.

Hi Dave,

where all these packages are results of the source package "nagios-
plugins"[1].

I don't agree here. The package "nagios-snmp-plugins"[2] has no (strong)
relationship to the packages resulting from "nagios-plugins" source package,
as it has a complete different code base. Renaming the package would suggest
such a relationship and maybe also, that this will be a generic package with
nagios snmp plugins, which is not true.

This is really easy to fix for example with:

$ apt-cache search nagios snmp
nagios-snmp-plugins - SNMP Plugins for nagios

With kind regards, Jan.
