What is your problem? - For the source name, you better keep the upstream choise, so call your SOURCE package (i.e. the source directory for the first dh_make run) <upstream name inlowercase>-<upstream version>. - Then you run dh_make and create template building directory. But beware, you probably don't wish to build a shared library (since the plugins are not valid shared libraries), better start as "single binary" with dh_make. - When done, edit the control file, and change the _binary package_ name from the one dh_make guessed to one similar to other plugin packages, like xmms-jess. - Then edit the rules file (and other files in debian/) where dh_make used it's guessed (binary!) package name and substite (or rename the files) with xmms-jess. - When you package plugins, there may be other difficulties: lintian thinks the .so file is a usuall shared lib and complains about that (shlibs error, missing soname, bla,bla). You can ignore this warnings or hide them with lintian overrides (see other packages). - Remember that dpkg-shlibdeps won't detect dependency on xmms (plugin), you have to specify a dependency manually. Better investigate whether the package is useable with the Potato/Woody version of xmms and set the dependency to the most ancient version of xmms.
