Oops! It would seem I must have missed a restart there.  I just found myself
back at the "Add/Remove Products" page, and there was ExternalContent.  I
never did find the products I installed from aptitude, but this is the one
I really want.  It looks right.  

So, now I can say that it appears that there's nothing wrong with plone as
you get it by simply installing "plone-site", with all its depends, from
edgy.
