Oh, are they linked to the libraries?  Oh, sure enough.  Okay, those have
to go into a separate package then.  Are they needed by shibd?  I know
they're needed by the Apache module, so it should depend on the plugin
package.

I'm inclined to call it libshibsp-plugins, if that sounds like it makes
sense, parallel to the -dev package.  Hm, and maybe I should go with
libshibsp-runtime as well instead of shibboleth-sp2-runtime.  Are the
configuration files and schemata only used by the library, or do other
things, like the Apache modules, FastCGI programs, and shibd, use them
directly?

Thanks for all your advice on this!
