As someone who would use this package, and given that upstream has several
sub-packages that can be updated separately, can I suggest:

player-player
player-stage
player-gazebo
player-... for the others.

or

playerstage-player
playerstage-stage
playerstage-gazebo
playerstage-... for the others.

cheers, Rich.
