this is not normal behavior. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it. I don't
have a Debian system, but I tested on Ubuntu, Gentoo and CentOS. I'll
test on Debian when I get the change.

Caver is a third-party plugin and as far as I know will not save any
settings to disk. The easiest workaround is to edit PYMOL_LOCATION in
Caver2_1_2.py (the Plugin Manager can tell you where to find Caver2_1_2.py).

Actually, a nice way to reorganize the Caver plugin would be:

Caver2_1_2
|-- Caver2_1.jar
|-- __init__.py    (was: Caver2_1_2.py)
`-- lib
    |-- dt3d.jar
    |-- j3dcore.jar
    |-- j3dutils.jar
    |-- ujmp-complete-0.2.4.jar
    `-- vecmath.jar

And in Caver2_1_2/__init__.py, change:

  PYMOL_LOCATION = sys.modules[__name__].__path__[0]

Cheers,
  Thomas
