Are you (both Leni and Jason) trying to make otopi/ovirt-host-deploy
build/install/run from a "dev-env" (non-root), or are you trying to
package them for debian?

otopi checks for plugins in its env under key BASE/pluginPath.
If running from either source (as above) or a bundle (see README.API,
this is actually needed for ovirt-host-deploy to work in its expected
normal flow), it has special code for setting it. Otherwise it defaults
to $(pkgdatadir)/plugins , where pkgdatadir is set by autoconf (and
defaults to $PREFIX/share/otopi.

So if you want 'dev-env', pick a prefix (say, ~/ovirt-stuff), build
everything with the same prefix, and add $prefix/bin to your path.

If you want to package for debian, you should mostly use debian
defaults for most things imo.

Best,
