SvenDowideit: MartinCleaver, that would be because you don't use configure to install plugins for debian?

Correct way:

extranet:~# apt-get twiki-autoviewtemplateplugin
E: Invalid operation twiki-autoviewtemplateplugin
extranet:~# apt-get install twiki-autoviewtemplateplugin

Configure should at least tell the user that they should use apt-get.
