My biggest worry is that when libextractor requires
plugin(libextractor), I cannot tell in advance which package this
Requires actually pulls to satisfy this dependency
because plugin(libextractor) is provided more than one package.

... For me, this always pulls a same package:
-----------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost i386]# yum --disablerepo=\*debug\* --disablerepo=\*dries\*
--disablerepo=\*freshrpms\* install libextractor
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments

Is this ok [y/N]: N
Exiting on user Command
Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------

however, 
* I am not sure if yum always pulls -pdf package for everyone
* and I am not sure if pulling -pdf package is what you expect
  if yum always pulls -pdf package.

If there is no "best" idea as of what plugins main package should
require for a minimal usage, you may want to remove plugin requirement
as before. My idea is requiring -plugins-base package is 
convenient for libextractor users. How do you think?
