No. I have not a webcam and I don't plan buy it in future. Why I need 
install software driver for absent hardware? What video driver I need to 
install for absent webcam?

Well, here quotes from debian-policy.

The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required 
for the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality.

Without audio plugins ohphone don't even listen port. Audio plugin must 
be in "depends".

Suggests
This is used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or 
more others. Using this field tells the packaging system and the user 
that the listed packages are related to this one and can perhaps enhance 
its usefulness, but that installing this one without them is perfectly 
reasonable.

Video plugin must be in "suggests" because installing without it on 
system without a webcam is "perfectly reasonable".

May be will be convenient make virtual packages libpt-plugins-audio and 
libpt-plugins-video? And put they in "depends" and "suggests".
