[Bug 1273484] [NEW] nagios-plugins renamed to monitoring-plugins

[Tony Yarusso]

Public bug reported:

This project was forced to change its name because of a trademark
assertion (see https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/news/new-project-
name.html), so the package name, upstream URL in the package
description, and possibly other references to the old name will need to
be updated.

See Debian Bug #736331 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736331> and Red Hat Bug #1054340
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1054340> for more details
and discussion.

Changes to file paths might be appropriate, but would break several
things, so some discussion about that will be needed, possibly with some
symlinks for a few releases or some such.  I expect the details are best
worked out upstream in Debian rather than creating a delta, but it seems
like we need a bug report on Ubuntu as well since changes may need to
happen before the Trusty release, particularly since it's LTS.

This affects all versions of Ubuntu at this point, but it's probably
most sane to only change things for Trusty and releases after that at
this point, IMO.  Upgrades from previous releases to Trusty or later
should replace the old package with the new name (the Red Hat bug has
lots of discussion about upgrade paths - it may be worthwhile to talk
with Sam Kottler so Ubuntu/Debian end up with similar behavior to Red
Hat/CentOS/Fedora in this respect).

This also affects the dependencies of several other packages, such as
nagios3-common, icinga-common, shinken-common, and probably others.
