You can't unless you add back support in your control-center for
installing its plugin headers.  Ubuntu, for example, adds it back.

For such distros, I've left in support in deja-dup for installing as a
control-center panel.  (this is controlled by the --with-ccpanel
configure argument, which defaults to auto detection)

In distros where control-center is configured to not allow third party
plugins (as upstream likes it), deja-dup will merely appear like any
other preference application in the system menus.
