How do we register custom plugin with LMS the correct way?

On RPi / Debian I saved MyCustomConvert plugin in

Code:
--------------------
    /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/MyCustomConvert 
--------------------


then restarted LMS from console window

Code:
--------------------
    sudo service logitechmediaserver restart
--------------------


>From web interface 'Settings>Advanced>File types' I could now see my
changes but now I got a message that the server had to restart to use
the new settings. This before I've done any changes from Web GUI. *After
restart from the web interface I now find my MyCustomConvert directory
have been deleted.*

Then I tried copying 'MyCustomConvert' to 
Code:
--------------------
    /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/DownloadedPlugins
--------------------
 and restarted LMS in hope I could install it from the web GUI. But it
didn't show up. 

Finaly I ended up copying 'MyCustomConvert' to 
Code:
--------------------
    /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins
--------------------
 Restarted LMS. Back in web GUI I now see my plugin enabled and from
'Settings>Advanced>File types' my changes do show up as intended.

Are we to understand the '~/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/' directory are
protected/maintained and ment only for official plugins?
Will content in '/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins' survive an LMS
upgrade?

This is my install.xml

Code:
--------------------
    <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
  <extension>
        <name>Custom convert plugin</name>
        <creator>SNW</creator>
        <id>[28ea6240-9c42-11e2-9e96-1800280c9b74]</id>
        <module>Plugins::MyCustomConvert::Plugin</module>
        <targetApplication>
                <id>SqueezeCenter</id>
                <maxVersion>*</maxVersion>
                <minVersion>7.7</minVersion>
        </targetApplication>
        <type>2</type>
        <version>0.0.1</version>
  </extension>
