so, a bit of digging turns up that  it looks like this was done as part
of addressing a QA issue.  That's when FILES_${PN}-plugins appears to
have been introduced.  That almost certainly seemed like the cleanest
approach at the time (in the absence of any other information, it's
certainly what I would've done) but knowing that strongswan is
non-functional without the plugins, I think the right thing to do is
remove the split rather than introduce an RDEPENDs.
