Can you install every Mozilla plugin automatically and without changes
in Phoenix? I am not sure that this is the case, especially on those
with additional interface files (googlebar?).

I have nothing against a shared /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory,
but I think there is not much sense in if the plugins are not
always compatible.

Anyway, you are free to package things your own way, my symlink
strategy is short-sighted (private package, I needed it, not much
time, you know the deal ;)
