I initially hesitated a bit first, because normally, plugins should be
installed in /usr/lib/<package>/. This can be done with
--with-plugindir, which moves a certain number of files installed by
default in /usr/libexec, but there are still a few libraries here
nonetheless. So your approach seems better.

I've simplified that into a single "find" invocation for lib/, usr/lib
and usr/libexec.
