I suspect the plugin should add the dependency.  I don't know for sure, but if
there's no inherent shlib dependency evident (i.e. the dependency is only
apparent due to an import statement embedded in a C file's literal string),
then there's no way for automatic packaging tools to determine that.  In any
case, it should be quite easy and can't really hurt to add the dependency
explicitly.

The Debian bug report previously referenced should provide the maintainer with
enough information to figure out the right thing to do.

In the meantime, if you hit the bug, a manual install of the dependency fixes
the problem.

Cheers,
-Barry
