good catch.

The root for this issue are grounded on a changed installation behavior
from upstream, the installation of platform independent files
*.{py,txt,xsl} are now placed into /usr/share/kicad/plugins and the
according change within the packaging has dropped unintentional the 3D
plugin *.so file.

Fixed with the next upload (which will need to go through NEW due new
binary packages).

Regards
Carsten
