Bug description:
  To provide proper integration with ubufox,

  1. plugins that use update-alternatives mechanism should also put a
  link for their binary in

   /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/

  and touch all /usr/lib/firefox-3.*/.autoreg that exist in .postinst.

  2. All plugins should have a Description and Filename header added to
  the binary package control, like gnash:

  Xb-Npp-Description: The GNU SWF Player (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/)
  Xb-Npp-File: libgnashplugin.so

  --------

  When encountering a java plugin Firefox offers a confusing dialog:
  it gives two options:
  1. "GCJ Web Browser Plugin"
  2. "The GCJ Web Browser Plugin"

  the second options supposedly uses openjdk.

  No descriptions are given whatsoever.
