Actually, if I stay with the one-package-per-plugin approach, I was thinking of providing a virtual package that would pull out yorick and all the plugins (except perhaps the most specialised).

I think what you want is a meta package that pulls in all the components, The virtual package is a bit different.[0] You could have a meta package called yorick-standard-plugins or something like that which depends on yorick and the plugins you think are fundamental.
