Maybe I couldn't express my thoughts clearly. What I meant was to have
a package named, say, "mozilla-plugins-common" which provides the
"/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" directory, and have all packages which
provide Mozilla plugins depend on this new package.

I proposed this because the "mozilla-plugin-gnash" and "swfdec-mozilla"
packages no longer directly provide files in the "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"
directory. Instead, during installation they utilize the alternatives
system to create the symlink "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flash-mozilla.so"
which (via "/etc/alternatives/flash-mozilla.so") points to the
preferred flash-decoder plugin.

However, you are probably right; it would be easier and simpler to include
that directory in the aforementioned packages instead of having a package
for a directory.
