Template toolkit: removed functionality issue



Hello,

I write as someone preparing an NMU for
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393311.

Template Toolkit 2.15 removed a few plugin modules from the main
distribution and I would like to package this new version.
The plugins removed are:

Template::Plugin::DBI
Template::Plugin::XML
Template::Plugin::GD

I've checked packages depending on libtemplate-perl, and the only
package that appears to use any of these plugin modules is bugzilla.
Would it therefore be okay to simply package libtemplate-plugin-gd-perl,
and have bugzilla depend on it (and possibly the equivalent
libtemplate-plugin-dbi-perl and libtemplate-plugin-gd-perl packages),
and then upload a new libtemplate-perl reflecting upstream's changes
with a NEWS.Debian entry explaining the change? Should libtemplate-perl
then Recommend or Depend on the new separate plugin modules? My
intuition would be to avoid a Depends.

Thanks,

Dominic.
