why would you want to remove the video plugins? Not using them is up to you, but having one ready should be the default, no?
No. I have not a webcam and I don't plan buy it in future. Why I need install software driver for absent hardware? What video driver I need to install for absent webcam?
Well, here quotes from debian-policy.
The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality.
Without audio plugins ohphone don't even listen port. Audio plugin must be in "depends".
Suggests
This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user that the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance its usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly reasonable.
Video plugin must be in "suggests" because installing without it on system without a webcam is "perfectly reasonable".
May be will be convenient make virtual packages libpt-plugins-audio and libpt-plugins-video? And put they in "depends" and "suggests".
