Here's a reasonable list of packages that could exist:

geany                <- core application
geany-common         <- ?
geany-dev            <- geany.pc and header files
geany-extras         <- geany themes, bindings, tags
geany-vala           <- vala binding
geany-python         <- python binding
geany-themes         <- all theme files from geany-themes
geany-tags           <- all geany tags (slooooooow!)
geany-tags-c         <- C tags only
geany-tags-python    <- Python tags only, and so on...
...other tags
geany-plugins        <- all plugins combined
geany-plugins-common <- ?
geany-plugin-addons  <- Addon plugin only, and so on...
...other plugins

Of course we need to get the distro package maintainers on side with this :)
