I just took a quick look at the package in the PPA, and I see what
s/he meant. I certainly don't think it is a blocker, but you might
want to consider simply having an exaile-plugins package for the
Recommended plugins. We install them all by default as it is anyways.
Perhaps even putting all the Suggested plugins in an
exaile-plugins-extras package as well.

There were certainly some issues with the plugins in 0.2.x....

I'd heard that rumor going around. I'm not involved with the Xubuntu
team, but if you need any help with filing an exception and/or a
sponsor for the upload let me know if I can be of assistance.
