Kudos to whoever pushed the LADSPA SWH plugins to Extras! Thank you!
Now, here's my thoughts: this is a set of LADSPA plugins. It works
strictly in conjunction with the package named "ladspa" - indeed, it is
an extension to it.
Therefore, I believe that the name of the plugins package should include
the string "ladspa" somewhere. Examples:
ladspa-swh-plugins
Or perhaps even more logical:
ladspa-plugins-swh
This name shows clearly the fact that it's actually part of the LADSPA
suite. Moreover, the highest, least specific, denominator (ladspa) comes
first, the second highest (plugins) comes next, while the most specific
denominator (swh) comes last. Kind of like the YYYYMMDD scheme.
My proposal is to settle to a clear rule to name these packages and
apply it consistently to all LADSPA plugins. There are quite a few that
can still go to Extras:

And this one too:

In case anyone hadn't seen it (since it's most likely to affect people
on this list with esoteric cards), I have submitted a review request for
alsa-firmware:

Any input is most welcome, particularly since I only have one particular
card so I have no way of testing whether the firmware loading works for
other cards.
