See bug 1116098, where adding grilo-plugins to main has been discussed before. I'd really like to see a split into the plugins we care about in main and the ones we don't. This package currently is a mass of functionality and dependencies (although from universe, it actually only would need dleyna-server, though that has its own set of universe deps).

The Debian maintainer himself commented in the above bug that he'd like to do some sort of split in Debian.

Maybe at least split out the tracker plugin? That would solve the dep problem (dleyna-server is run time dep only) and let us avoid promoting the whole bundle of other plugins to main. Ideally in agreement with the Debian maintainer on package names so that if we do this ahead of Debian, we won't have conflicting names down the road.
