An example of this is the GEdit plugin from the ‘rabbitvcs’ source
package. Apparently it relies on ‘dh_install’, to simply install the
plugin files directly to ‘/usr/lib/gedit/plugins’.

How should a third-party GEdit plugin, architecture-independent Python
code, be packaged for Debian so that it will work correctly in GEdit?
