ppp now exclusively has the plugin code (originally from roaring penguin 
I believe).  Latest version is no longer relevant, that plugin has been 
available since at least a few versions back already (at least a decade, 
probably closer to two).

That same code has recently been dropped from rp-pppoe, which now 
primarily focusses on pppoe-server, and relies on the plugin now part of 
ppp package itself. rp-pppoe is only required if you're running a 
pppoe-server, and I don't think rp-pppoe at this stage will function 
without ppp.

Most people will never need rp-pppoe.

Kind regards,
Jaco
