Can't find the debugger plugin in any of the recent geany-plugins .deb distributions (I'm running Ubuntu). Has this plugin been deprecated and use is no longer recommended? If not, is the only way to install now to build from source, or am I missing something obvious here? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Some distributions switched to a GTK+3 build of Geany before all the plugins were ported. Those plugins which weren't ported were left out of the distribution packages.
The Debugger plugin (and I believe the Scope plugin) are both now ported to GTK+ 3. You will, as you suspected, have to build from source if your distro has not added newer versions of the plugin packages.
Some subset of the related bug reports about this: https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/791 https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/issues/942 https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/issues/913 https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/issues/758

Just for background I am running Debian Stretch and planning to upgrade to Buster soon.
In the GitHub plugin list, https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins
the entry for debugger https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/tree/master/debugger
has a README file which still shows Requirements as GTK 2.
Am I looking in the wrong place - or is this file simply out of date?
I have been happily using Geany in Debian for several years - my current version is 1.29. That version of the debugger is useable, but does have many GUI issues.
I am wondering if the ported version has improved GUI?

I've just updated it to GTK3.

I'm afraid since 1.29 not really much has happend at debugger-plugin.
