I'm not convinced that noawait is the right choice for libomxil-bellagio-bin. The plugins are unusable without being registered. That said, nothing depends on libomxil-bellagio-bin now, so the trigger might never get run in the first place - switching to noawait does not make it any more fragile:

Assuming a package that depends on a plugin and makes use of it in the postinst, you currently do not get any guarantee that installing plugin foo will make plugin foo usable, unless you also depend on -bin. But if you depend on -bin anyway, the guarantee with noawait is the same, as the trigger for bin will have been processed before your package is configured.
