No plugin is available to handle output format html?
The ebook-convert help also says that if the output file doesn't have an extension, it is treated as a directory and is opened as an OEB. This will contain all the .html, stylesheets, pictures and anything else needed to make your epub.

So -- create a directory called Foo, for example. Then convert your pdf into that directory.
ebook-convert bb.pdf Foo

Look in the Foo directory and you will see the expected html (called index.html, I believe) plus stylesheet plus graphics and a couple of other things, ready to be converted into an epub.

At this point you can see the result by feeding it to your favorite browser, Firefox, say:
firefox index.html

You can also build an epub by running it through sigil directly. Sigil will re-arrange the directory structure and adjust all the links to work OK.
sigil index.html
(be sure to "save as" bb.epub)
