Effectively the same thing; increasing a binary package by 1 means
increasing 1 per each architecture, which happens to be about 12.

I need to pick a balance here. Is forcing every user to install the
extra package before use (and removing the plugins for default
install) the right thing to do, for who? If it's going to be optional
and no one is going to install it, why not remove it? Why is it going
to stay, if it's going to stay, why is it optional?
