From the users of the distribution point of view, they installed a piece of software ... when upgrading they expect to have a new version of the software they installed in the past.
Following here the software of the upstream developer whould result ito using 'monitoring-plugins'.

Anyhow ... I have no knowledge about how rpm can handle this. As packager I would maybe do the following for further releases:

* Source package: nagios-enterprises-plugins
* Source package: monitoring-plugins
  - Here providing the old 'nagios-plugins-*' packages.

This would give the users the route they decided when they installed their packages mapped to the upstream developers.
