Ok, this is now an undocumented (and untested) feature in the development 
version. The localized versions should be called e.g.:

de_DE.mystuff.pluginmap
or
de.mystuff.pluginmap

(The algorithm is to prefer a language_COUNTRY match, if available, next a 
"plain" language match, next language_ANYTHING, next the default version of 
the .pluginmap).
