Description
Upgrading by debian package loses all installed plugins.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Install logstash via `dpkg -i logstash-1.5.1.deb`
2. Install a plugin `/opt/logstash/bin/plugin install my-awesome-filter.gem`
3. Upgrade logstash via `dpkg -i logstash-1.5.2.deb`
4. Try to start logstash with a configuration that requires 'my-awesome-filter', logstash will fail to start because it cannot find the filter.
Maybe this could be avoided by installing plugins to a separate directory? How does Elasticsearch handle this? Elasticsearch always preserves plugins on upgrade.
Thank you!!
