I'd prefer to just have the plugin source shown for each command  
every time you get its full help.  Also, please see if you can add a  
test for this.  I suggest this approach: you should be able to use a  
command from the lp_integration plugin which is in the bzr tree to  
test it, and then just make sure its help includes the expected regexp.

Also it might be nice to show the plugin module's filename.

Thanks,
