Depends on what you think is appropriate: apt (or rather, dpkg) will
simply restore the deleted files on upgrade (it cannot know which ones
were deleted intentionally).
As plugins are only exposed when enabled by the admin in some way via a
config option in /etc/squirrelmail, I too feel this would be the best
solution if we were to package the plugins ourselves.
