The gedit binary will depend on libpython if built with Python support,
so I considered it was acceptable to ship the plugins in the same
package, even if they add some deps as well (on the python modules they
rely on).
The alternative would be to build Gedit in various flavors, as is the
case of vim (vim-full, vim-python, etc.). This would require some
work, perhaps moving away of CDBS, so I don't intend to do it myself (I
do take clean patches though).
