The high point I picked up here is that each plugin has it's own
lifecycle, controlled by independent developers.

Grouping the plugins like this seems odd to me, because of the
independent lifecycles.  Perhaps something to consider is to create
separate debian packages for each (with names like
ofxstatement-plugin-abcdef), and maybe a convenience meta-package that
depends on some set of the plugin packages (ofxstatement-plugins).

I'm not sure whether the debian policies address this.  Hopefully
someone more knowledgable can comment on that.
