Bug Description

Due to the way Tiled is packaged, it does not find its plugins.

Tiled expects its plugins to be installed to /usr/lib/tiled/plugins, which was the case also for the Tiled Ubuntu package up to version 1.0.3. However, the current package installs the plugins into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tiled/plugins, which is not a directory searched by Tiled.

Either the plugins should be moved or the application would need to be patched.

I develop Tiled and am open for any suggestions to modify Tiled and/or its build files to make packaging easier and less prone to this kind of problems in the future.
