The question is how modular we really want to be here: as gif and jpg 
are really standard image formats, I'd rather package those up in the 
libqt6gui6 package (as it was done for libqt5gui5).

If you do want to split them off, then it might be something like 
"qt6-[base|gui]-image-formats-plugins".
You'd probably have to rename the existing package 
("qt6-image-formats-plugins") to "qt6-extra-image-formats-plugins" as 
well to avoid confusion.
