Extra Plugins are normally stored in the same directory as the (default)
NRPE plugins.
Im not sure where that is in the default install for Debian but in general
the $USER1$ variable will point to the plugins directory. $USER1$ is
normally set in the resource.cfg file in your nagios config directory.

I am being vague because Nagios is very flexible and can be set up in lots
of diffrent ways but hopefuly this helps.
