a bunch of plugins still need the new meta headers in their control
file:

Like gnash:

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

I think all java plugins + totem-mozilla need those.

  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.

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
