Jonathan was a bit faster with answering than me, so in the release 5 which I
just posted the sub-packages got renamed to geany-plugins-*. I totally agree
with Christophs point of view. It definitely does make sense to name the
subpackages geany-plugin-* since they include just one plugin at a time (except
geany-plugins-addons, in fact). Anyway I tend to leave the naming
geany-plugins-* since the upstream project is named "geany-plugins".
