Your example highlights an issue: there is no reason to show `structs` to a
user at all, since it offers no user-level features. It is just an API. No
one chose to install it, they just got it as a dependency from some update
of another plugin.

When I worked on NetBeans we could mark modules as being libraries (~ APIs)
or bridges (integrations), which would get installed only as needed, and
would normally be hidden from display. Perhaps Jenkins needs an equivalent.
W.r.t. “bridges” I have an open RFE to deprecate optional dependencies in
favor of these.
