  Well thanks in advance for not making Ekiga main package depend on
the full GNOME + KDE and evolution server stack. Smaller chunks with
dynamically loaded glue package are way better !
  However separating avahi may not be such a big gain, the KDE and eds 
one are significant external dependancies, and for them yes separate 
packages would help.
