The situation is summarised 
[here](https://github.com/geany/geany-plugins/pull/1295#issuecomment-1907080484),
 and the current status is:  

- Webhelper, nobody has tested the Webhelper PR #1295 which includes the switch 
to Webkit 4.1, so I guess it has no users who care, so it should not configure 
on Debian (and other distros) and not get built when old Webkit is removed
- Markdown, nobody has provided a copy of the build patch (no code changes) 
from #1295, so again it should not configure on Debian (and other distros) and 
not get built when old Webkit is removed
- Updatechecker, really only useful on Windows (or Macos????) where the Geany 
project provides the binaries, so Debian should be disabling it as it doesn't 
look at their repositories (porting to libsoup3 will depend on its availability 
on those platforms)
- Geniuspaste, has had no actual functionality changes for seven years, maybe 
its because it "just works" (oh look, a flying pig ;-) or because it has no 
users, anyway "somebody" needs to contribute a PR porting to Libsoup3, and 
until then it should not configure on Debian (and other distros) and not get 
built when old Libsoup2 is removed

As Geany-plugins is a collection, each plugin individually enables or disables 
based on availability of its dependencies during configure, so Debian should 
not have to do anything to have those plugins not build as above.

It should be noted that those on LTS distros (like me) do not have Libsoup3 
available, and therefore not Webkit 4.1, so we can't test #1295 or provide any 
other PRs, but I really doubt that __all__ geany contributors are on LTS 
distros, so until "somebody" contributes the patches those plugins will not get 
distributed, and maybe that will trigger contributions.
