Hi,

In my understanding, "package-plugins" are meant to extend functionality
of "package"; where "package" can already be mostly usefull without the plugins.

e.g.: "konqueror" suggests "konq-plugins" .

In this case, ofxstatement is of absolutely no use by itself.

Whoever made the pip3 package likely did understood that
and also included ofxstatement-lithuanian & ofxstatement-czech
in this archive.

So I'd just roll everything, core + plugins, in one single package.

Team-maintained is a good idea.

This is not python specific at all, it's just about trying to make packages
where the metadata doesn't outweight the actual contents;
& avoiding to put too much strain on ftp-masters, mirrors et all without any gain.
