+monitoring-plugins on Debian
+============================
+
+Some plugins require additional libraries and programs. To prevent you from
+having to install dozens of further packages that you don't actually need,
+there is no strict dependency on some of them. Rather, they are listed as
+recommendations and suggests.
+
+apt-get(8) and aptitude(8) will install recommended packages automatically by
+default. If you did not disable this feature you will have everything in place
+to operate all plugins when installing the "monitoring-plugins-standard"
+package, beside the packages listed as suggests.
+Else you have to install missing dependencies manually (see the section "Plugin
+dependencies" below).
