On another note, be aware that Cordova CLI 4.3.x uses the old plugin
directory, ie:
cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.camera

Recent Cordova releases have switched to the new NPM-based repository. So
you then have to use:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera

The lastest cordova-ubuntu support code (ie the platform code), is
compatible with both, and can be used whether you are building with the
old-style CLI (the one still considered stable and packaged in the PPA), or
the new CLI you can get from a fresh npm install.

The Platform API connecting the CLI and its supported platforms is still
somehow in flux. So this is why I recommend to stick to the PPA for a few
more weeks. Until I can get all of the newer platform (and plugins) code
running in all cases with the latest upstream updates.

Again, in the meantime, feel free to contact me for issues or file bugs on
launchpad/JIRA.
