$ apt-cache search abiword|grep abiword
abiword - WYSIWYG word processor based on GTK2
abiword-common - WYSIWYG word processor based on GTK2
abiword-gnome - WYSIWYG word processor based on GTK2/GNOME2
abiword-plugins - Plugins for AbiWord

on debian (major) configure flags result in different packages.
than the common part is split apart.

(as you might see, this does need far more time to write the build script,
so we may end up only having abiword-gnome and abiword (maybe +
abiword-plugins))
