These packages and subdirs are a good starting point. Linuxaudio is transforming every day, so I think a lot has to change in the different meta-packages.
The biggest recent changes imo in linuxaudio is a) release of Ardour3 (with midi support) b) release of Non-Session-Manager (NSM)Point a means that LV2 plugins are more and more important for mixing and using virtual softsynths/instruments.
Point b gives revival to the 'one-task-one-tool-approach' in the audio area. It should be in Debian as soon as possible (new release is coming within a few weeks)
http://non.tuxfamily.org/It might be good to have a 'NON' metapackage with Non-Timeline, Non-Mixer, Non-Sequencer and Non-session-manager.
You want the NSM supported apps in Debian and likely in the metapackages. An NSM metapackage like you've for ladi, might be good too: http://non.tuxfamily.org/wiki/ApplicationsSupportingNsm
I think 'audio-plugins' should be 'softsynths or virtual instruments'.Then you've to think about where to put the LV2 and DSSI plugins. Special metapackage or in one of the existing ones (mixing/softsynths) You've LV2 plugins for mixing and LV2 plugins as softsynths/virtual instruments.
I think I would remove the timestretching package, you'll find it in your DAW normally (Ardour/Qtractor).
