Yeah, it's a bigger problem than people realise, perhaps, due to the 
requirement to match versions between plugins and the main package.

Eg. If we put the RabbitMQ apt repo into our sources.list, then 
sysadmins will update the package automatically.. but if the plugins are 
manually installed (or installed via puppet from a fixed set) then 
that'll break.
