(There seems to be no global configuration file where > this may be achieved automatically) a) This is how it's supposed to be, see the release notes [1] b) Strictly speaking you don't need _any_ plugin with a particular mail unless is signed/encrypted _and_ you want to verify or decrypt it. c) If you want both packages installed go ahead and install them, but don't prentend everybody does the same by setting dependencies among packages. d) Hints are in release notes, but for some reason yet to investigate these are currently not included in the package, sorry. (I've already filed the bug). e) Hints on installation are only seen by root, plugins must be loaded by each user who wants to use them (that's the reason no global configuration exists). Even in the case user == root, it's not very likely a plugin package is installed without knowning what does it serve for, so in that case it would be a bit redundant (and some may found it annoying as it would stop the upgrade process) To summarize, this is not a bug, so I'll close it unless you find better bases for your request.
