As you can see from %files there is no remmina-plugins binary, the description
is only for the SRPM. For the SRPM I consider the description correct, but I
don't want to build a meta-package. Meta-packages are discouraged in Fedora.

Yes and no. :)If I were to use the bundled library, I'd need an exception. But
thankfully I just need to use add "--enable-vnc=dl" (=dynamic library), then
configure looks like this:

Remmina-Plugins configure result:

* RDP plugin: yes
* VNC plugin: link to libvncclient externally
* XDMCP plugin: yes
* NX plugin: yes
* Telepathy plugin: yes

This got lost during the transition from remmina to remmina-plugins. Thanks for
catching this!
