I discussed that with Matthias and didn't come to conclusion. Finally I
decided to go for an extra package. Basically for two reasons:

 * I don't have to bother you folks with new versions (there's already a
   forth plugin underway)
 * we don't need to add even more dependencies to munin-plugins-extra.
   Folks might not want to have python-libvirt which pulls in libvirt
   which pulls in xen libs on their system.
 * Backports: backporting munin-plugins-extra will become hard if there
   it has too man dependencies

So here's my suggestion: let's let the plugins stabilize a bit while
keeping them in an exrra source package and move them over to
munin-plugins-extra then (maybe shipping them as an extra binary
package, so people don't need install them). Does this sound reasonable?
It wouldn't solve the backport problem though.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
