Latest DAG galeon for FC2 doesn't see plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

I've sent an email about this to Dag, but was wondering if anyone else
is seeing this same behaviour?

I've checked the freshrpms list and bugzilla.gnome.org first to see if
this has been reported yet, but as far as I can tell it hasn't. The
latest galeon from DAG for FC2 only seems to see plugins installed into
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.2/plugins/, and not those in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ whereas the previous version from DAG would.
The latest versions of Mozilla and Epiphany from Fedora Updates do see
the Flash, Java and Real Player plugins, as well as Mozplugger, whereas
about:plugins in Galeon just sees libnullplugin.so.

Details:

$ ls -d /usr/lib/moz*
/usr/lib/mozilla        /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6    /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.2

$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
flashplayer.xpt    libjavaplugin_oji.so  nphelix.so
libflashplayer.so  mozplugger.so         nphelix.xpt

$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins/
flashplayer.xpt  libflashplayer.so

$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.2/plugins/
libnullplugin.so

$ rpm -qa | grep mozilla | sort
mozilla-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-chat-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-devel-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-9.1.fc2.dag
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-mail-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-nspr-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-nss-1.7.2-0.2.0
mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.2-0.2.0

$ rpm -q epiphany
epiphany-1.2.7-0.2.0

$ rpm -q galeon
galeon-1.3.17-1.1.fc2.dag

$ rpm -qa | grep j2re | sort
j2re-1.4.2-8.1.fc2.dag
mozilla-j2re-1.4.2-9.1.fc2.dag

$ rpm -q RealPlayer
RealPlayer-10.0.0.297-20040730

$ rpm -q flash-plugin
flash-plugin-7.0.25-1

$ rpm -q mozplugger
mozplugger-1.5.2-1

Is this is a packaging error, or should I report this to the galeon
developers on bugzilla.gnome.org?

Best, Darren
