Eugen,

I have had a look at creating a plugin-pulse and it doesn't save much:

 Package: libpt2.10.4
 Source: ptlib
 Version: 2.10.4~dfsg-1
 Architecture: amd64
 Maintainer: Debian VoIP Team <pkg-voip-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
 Installed-Size: 4399
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.11), libexpat1 (>= 1.95.8), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), 
libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7), libodbc1 (>= 2.2.11) | unixodbc (>= 2.2.11), 
libsasl2-2, libsdl1.2debian (>= 1.2.11), libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0), libstdc++6 
(>= 4.6), libpt2.10.4-plugins-pulse (= 2.10.4~dfsg-1) | libpt2.10.4-plugins-
alsa (= 2.10.4~dfsg-1) | libpt2.10.4-plugins-oss (= 2.10.4~dfsg-1) | 
libpt2.10.4-plugins-video (= 2.10.4~dfsg-1)

 Package: libpt2.10.4-plugins-pulse
 Source: ptlib
 Version: 2.10.4~dfsg-1
 Architecture: amd64
 Maintainer: Debian VoIP Team <pkg-voip-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
 Installed-Size: 158
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libpt2.10.4, libpulse0 (>= 
0.99.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1)

 Package: libpt2.10.4-plugins-video
 Source: ptlib
 Version: 2.10.4~dfsg-1
 Architecture: amd64
 Maintainer: Debian VoIP Team <pkg-voip-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>
 Installed-Size: 181
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libpt2.10.4, libstdc++6 (>= 
4.2.1), libv4l-0 (>= 0.5.0)


Even with a plugin package, the depends for libpt2.10.4 is still the large 
issue (libsdl, libldap and friends), and you only save libv4l-0.

I also have a changelog entry against 2.6.7-1:
  * Depreciate libptX.X.X-plugins -> libptX.X.X
    - Makes dependent packages binNMU safe

So on balance I don't think the minor savings are worth the effort of 
maintaining multiple plugin packages.
