debian-live does not have this kind of plugin architecture.
Instead it has snapshots. So you can boot a basic system, install
openoffice on it, make a snapshot, and next time boot with openoffice
already installed.
It does not work as a plugin however. The snapshots stack in a particular order.
Since installation of openoffice is recorded in the Debian package
database and that database is only one file it can be only in one
state in a particular snapshot and has to reflect all preceding
snapshots.
You could probably install software in /opt or wherever and add that
as plugins but that would not be Debian packaged software.
