Package: cronosii
Version: 0.2.2.23.1-3
Severity: normal

The configuration dialog in cronos allows users to "Load" plugins. This
actually copies them into ~/.CronosII/Plugins. This is done even for the
plugins included in the package.

This seems to mean that if a user loads one of these plugins, and then
upgrades the package to a new version which fixes a bug, they won't get
the bug fix.

I shudder to think of the result if the bug fix is a security fix..

There should be a better way to handle this. Maybe it could make
symlinks to the plugins.
