E.g. the TextDocument Inspector uses unpublished API of the text shape. And there is the wish to separate it out to another plugin, to be able to blacklist it for e.g. Krita. Just, that is not possible yet.

All plugins' desktop files are accordingly changed, for now by simply setting the X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name value to the name of the library, so no whitelist/blacklist needs to be changed.
