Well, it depends if these plugins are used by tracker or libtracker.

It _looks_ like the above ones should be in libtracker-plugins or
similar, which would be required by the libtracker0.12_0 package, and
tracker shouldn't be required.

But it all depends on what is using what, and what is required for what,
which I didn't check.
