There isn't much context, but, on the topic of debian packaging plugin-style things that could be downloaded from some software:
“There was also some confusion about why we bother when there's now a
builtin contentdb (which didn't exist when the first mods were
packaged). I found this quote about minetest use in prisons:> The context of this is, I ship Debian to people in gaol, and they
> can't just download random shit off the internet, or watch tutorial
> videos on youtube. If I can't provide them a "basically fine" default
> setup, there's no point shipping anything”
