Well, we got ant, ant1.5 and ant1.6 and maybe the plugins could exist
for the three different ant... what happens if you don't have ant1.6 but
already have a lot of plugins, and then you install ant1.6? You won't
have the symlinks for ant1.6.
I'm not sure if it can be an issue, maybe a script can resolve that,
isn't it?

Filing a bug is not an offense, it helps the maintainer (and sometimes
upstream) ;-) Also, the bug can act as a reminder.
If you don't have an answer from Stefan, file a bug.
Cheers,
