Well, all these web plugin installation systems as we know it from
Mozilla, GNOME and Cinnamon are security risks and should IMHO actually
be disabled.

They circumvent the package management system, Debian's security
support, and leave it completely open to upstream which code get's into
Debian and which not.
It makes it even questionable whether such packages are allowed to be in
main.


This is why we also have xul-ext-* packages, with properly packaged
extensions, e.g. for Mozilla.


Cheers,
Chris.

Cinnamon applet (also extensions and desklet) can be installed with
cinnamon control center, not need packaging.
For now I think there are many other things to do: fixes and
improvements at existing packages, and probably packaging other nemo
extensions (that is not installable easy and fast from control center)
