If you don't want to move back plugins packages to libheif1.

Here is and idea.

1) You must improve the long description for plugin packages.
   I read for libheif-plugin-libde265 "This package contains the
   libde265 plugin" (same for other packages).
   What is supposed to do this plugin (and others) ?

2) libheif1 must Depends on plugins that are able to open video and
 image files so that nothing is broken in others packages (imagemagick,
 thunar, etc)
