You can't do that. Or to be more precise, it is possible to have the
exact same file in several packages but then it has to be the _exact_
same file and a change in _one_ package will break the upgrade process
with a file conflict. There is no substitute to having a file that
describes the plugins that belong to that package. Then they can all be
upgraded separately, etc, etc, it is the way to go.

Oh... well... changing package names is fun! (obsoleting and providing
the old package name, etc, etc - but I think most of the plugins have
actually migrated from Planet CCRMA to Fedora, so it is going to be
somebody else's problem! :-)
