I see your point but I'm not sure if we should provide bulk binary package 
with all plugins at once. Perhaps only if they are not enabled by default...

In any case the gain is little -- potentially a dozen plugins packaged in one 
or more packages... Not too much of a difference...

That's exactly my point. :)
I just wanted to say that if I'm not involved I'm not going to enforce my 
vision on maintainer who is doing all the work. 

I just did initial packaging for someone to carry on. Frankly I'm surprised 
that gajim maintainer(s) shown no interest so far...
