Package: ldaptor-webui
Version: 0.0.43+debian1-3

Attempting to start ldaptor-webui gives this:

The twisted.python.plugin module indeed does not appear to exist on this system
(as seen when attempting to import it in an interactive python session), and
according to http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/1911, it was depreciated and
removed some time ago.
