Despite having libprojectm3 and vlc-plugin-visualization installed on my
machine, projectM still does not show up under the Visualisers in VLC Media
Player. I think the issue is that vlc-plugin-projectm is not packaged into
the Debian version of VLC; to my knowledge Mageia and OpenMandriva however
do package the projectM integration.
