 Probably should first fix package to install the plugins regardless 
 and add a MESSAGE about it. There are several plugins that have 
 prerequisites not installed.
 
 dig in separate package seems fine too. But that means we also want to 
 install libbind9, libdns, liblwres, libisccfg, libisccc, and libisc. 
 (Maybe one package or several.)
