<p>I rebuilt geany and geany-plugins from latest git repository, master branch. I needed to install libvte-2.91 to allow the debugger plugin to build. I can launch my newly-built geany, but the Debugger plugin is still missing. Your suggestion to go geany's Help menu -> Debug Messages menu revealed this clue:</p>
