I think that VLC should suggest browser-plugin-vlc because it is a part of
VLC. Also, most online VLC installation tutorials tell their readers to
install both VLC and the browser plugin. Unfortunately, the browser plugin has
to be set to manually installed despite VLC being the only reason for it being
on the system. (After all, browser-plugin-vlc depends on VLC.)
