+collectd plugins on Debian
+==========================
+
+Some plugins require additional libraries. To prevent you from having to
+install dependencies that you don't actually need those libraries are
+recommendations rather than dependencies.
+
+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. Else you have to install missing dependencies manually
+(see the section "Plugin dependencies" below).
