I figured out how I can install the Denon AVP Plugin with mostly the
graphical interface of Ubuntu 18.04:

Before installing the LMS onto a blank system I created the user
"squeezeboxserver" in the Ubuntu Settings-Details-Users section and
assigned a password.

I then switched to the just generated user and installed the logitech
media server according to this guide:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Debian_Package

Thereafter I pulled the plugin from the google archive:
https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/denonavpcontrol/DenonAvpControl_1_9_2.zip

I was now able to unzip, extract the whole folder to the path
"/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins".

After a restart of the LMS "sudo service logitechmediaserver stop",
"sudo service logitechmediaserver start" the plugin showed up as active
in the LMS web interface settings "Plugins" tab.

I could now safely return to my default Ubuntu user.
LMS and the plugin will automatically start up after a re-boot, logging
in to the "squeezeboxserver" account is not necessary.

I hope this will help other noobs that run into the same problem. I will
re-post my finding in the "Manually installing plugin zips" thread.
