OK, I've put it in a silo.

It could be in a separate package, but I didn't do that because it's
mostly an internal library: the -dev package does not provide any
headers, its use is only providing a pkg-config file which defines a
variable.
The libonline-accounts-plugin.so is not directly used by other apps,
it's the backend for the Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts.Plugin QML module, which
is also implemented in the u-s-s-o-a package itself. Note that in
debian/control we have a "Provides" for a
qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts-plugin.

Please let me know what's the best way to proceed; I'll now separate
this module into its own package, but let me know if there are simpler
ways to solve this.

Weird. I could reproduce the failure as well, and filed bug 1614108
about it. I've also added a workaround in our silo.
