I won't change this in the package, to do it correct it needs:
* a group and a user for P2P downloads
* a directory /var/lib/Azureus with correct rights and user settings for the 
shared plugins.
* a lot of changing in the java code to respect the user/group mechanism on 
linux systems

I'm thinking about providing some interesting plugins as a addon-package to 
Azureus and install them in a central place.

To start Azureus from a hidden directory is no solution, as it installs the 
plugins folder than in the hidden folder ... and this folder should contain 
the plugins for all users.

To make you happy:
simply add those to lines:
mkdir -p $HOME/.azureus
cd $HOME/.azureus

before the run command in /usr/bin/Azureus.sh
and you're fine.
