Thanks!
cicku, good idea!
Ralf, plowshare is a command-line downloader/uploader for some of the most popular file-sharing websites. Each module (written in bash) corresponds to a different sharing site. The modules are downloaded via plowmod, from a oficial repository provided by upstream. But, the users can install a module provided by another user, if they want to. The modules are updated constantly and it is difficult to update the package at the same pace. So, providing a core package and let the users to update the modules is a better idea in my opinion. The modules are installed under ~/.config/plowshare/modules.d/
Jason, thanks! I could package the modules. But this is not a good ideia as explained above. The package will be quickly outdated. Perharps, before I mark it as stable. However, if necessary, I will submit a review request to a new package, that will contain the modules.

Well, look at how clamav does it. The package provides a snapshot of
the virus data so that we can ship _something_. This will be updated
when freshclam runs.

Perhaps read over

Personally, I would still ship a module package, but for that to work,
the software has to have a mechanism for local downloads to override
system-provided modules.
