As noted in this thread (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141443), some people may want to use awesome with a separate notification-daemon. However, awesome currently provides this due to the notification module naughty; this is great if you just want to use that, but as noted in that thread it can lead to excess hassle if you want to use something else in its place.

Upstream ships everything in one big happy family, but would it be feasible to split the package here, make naughty an optdepend of awesome, and have naughty provide notification-daemon?
This task depends upon

I answered in the BBS. We don't need to split packages to be able to use another notification-daemon with naugthy shiped inside awesome.
Provide notification-daemon, doesn't conflict with other package also provide it, without force conflicts.
