Yep, I remembered that you splitted the plugins from the main package 
when I gave a look at the debian/ dir in your ubuntu source package.

I decided not to split the plugins for two reasons:
  * it was the original approach used by the former maintainer
    (and it could be questionable any time);
  * the package isn't so complicated and space-consuming to be
    in need of a split of few plugins, as it would force the
    final users to discover and understand which plugin they
    have to install for the feature they want. Monolithic is
    better this time, I guess. :-P

Time will say which was the best approach ;-)

Hope to see a brand new shining 2.1.0 soon in the repos :-)
