The plasmapkg tools actually installs the data engines in the dataengines
directory, and not in engines/dataengines. Recently I changed to script
engine runtime to pick them up from there assuming the plasmapkg tool was
correct. Perhaps that was wrong and I should have changed plasmapkg instead?
For example, this is where my ruby time engine gets installed:

.kde/share/apps/plasma/dataengines/ruby-time
