I don't think it is a bad idea in that case. Indeed, thunar-archive-plugin
has a plugin-script system. This allows for some flexibility we should 
take advantage of. In my opinion it should be possible to have a random 
package (preferrably a graphical unarchiver package ;-) drop a
script in /usr/libexec/thunar-archive-plugin/ even if thunar-archive-plugin
isn't installed. To still have right directory owning, there are 2 
possibilities:

* have all plugin packages own /usr/libexec/thunar-archive-plugin/
* add a filesystem-like package which holds that directory and that packages
  depend on.

Both options may make sense depending on the case, here I think having 
multiple owners is the cleanest way.

> Opinions? Drop the sub-package and move the file over to thunar-archive-plugin? 

No, drop the sub-package and own /usr/libexec/thunar-archive-plugin/.

In any case I don't think that having a package only for the 
thunar-archive-plugin plugin script makes sense.
